As I have said, the Rudd government take this matter very seriously. What we are not going to do is provide a running commentary on it. It is unfortunate that the opposition feel that they need to have a running commentary. These are serious matters. They are best left with those who are charged with investigating them. The New South Wales police have it in hand and it would be inappropriate for the government to provide a running commentary in respect of the matter.
