I am astounded because, as I said earlier, it is very rare for confidential discussions in cabinet to be leaked to the media. I cannot recall more than a handful of occasions in this government’s 11½ long years in office. I find it extraordinary that there was no police investigation into this matter. But we had a discussion earlier and we have a fair idea who the perpetrator was. On the amendments before us, it is more than disappointing that here we are four years on and the government still has not met the commitment it gave in writing four years ago.
