As I said in my first answer, my first and only concern was for the welfare of my staff member. I received and took all appropriate advice from Ministerial and Parliamentary Services, and all of that information was communicated to my former staff member at the time. It was actually me who suggested that she might like to consider talking to the Australian Federal Police, and it was actually me who facilitated the first meeting with the Australian Federal Police, with an appropriately qualified officer. The process from there was a matter between my staff member and the AFP, appropriately so.
