Thank you, Mr President. What Senator Wong has not understood throughout this whole matter is that, at the moment, there are a whole range of assertions being made—assertions that ICAC are testing by hearing evidence from a range of people. And I am sure, in her former life, Senator Wong would have known that sometimes a case sounds very strong until the other side is heard. What I would simply say to her is: take a deep breath, and allow ICAC to undertake its task. And we will then see where the cards fall.
