Mr Corbell: The answer to the member's questions is as follows:

(1) I do not know if a contract for the sale of the club has ever been executed. An application for Minister consent to transfer the lease was submitted on 3 September 2002. The application was refused on 23 September 2002 on the basis that the transferor did not meet the criteria to hold this particular lease.

(2) No.

(3) No.

(4) The application for Minister consent to transfer purported to transfer the lease from the Hungarian-Australian Club Limited to G E Shaw Associates Pty Ltd.

(5) As mentioned above I have not seen the contract for sale and therefore, I do not know if there is a contract and if so who signed it, when, and under what authority.

(6) These are not matters for me to consider.

(7) As per 6 above.
