I will make a couple of observations at this point. We do need to be careful about asking ministers when it is not directly their portfolio responsibility or agency responsibility, nor is it necessarily in the authority of the minister to determine someone's eligibility or their fit-and-proper status, other than in a vernacular sense, to sit in the parliament. I'll allow the minister to continue to answer the question, draw her to the question and remind people of my previous ruling about commenting on other people.
