Centre Alliance will be supporting this motion. I'd just draw people's attention to the fact that there have been allegations made in relation to ministers and members of parliament, and the jurisdiction of the act under which ACLEI conduct their investigations does not allow them to investigate those sorts of issues. So, in voting against this motion—again, it's a statement of fact that there are allegations—you are effectively removing the opportunity to investigate these serious allegations.
