Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Mr Lawler has performed complex legal work while taking a nine-month sickie, has acted as a legal advocate for his corrupt partner in the Federal Court, has been embroiled in a scandalous attempt to control an old man's finances, has had multiple complaints lodged regarding his professional conduct and has taken ownership of a house financed with stolen money. Does this government continue to support and protect Mr Lawler, or will it now act to end this chaotic saga?
