This morning the Privileges Committee reported back on the inquiry concerning the former member for Dunkley, Mr Bruce Billson. In their report they've unanimously recommended a motion of censure from the parliament. Could you advise the House on what next steps will be taken in this instance?

I thank the Manager of Opposition Business. I'm aware of the report and its recommendation. Any action on the matter is a matter for the House.
