Members may or may not be aware that, on Monday, the public accounts committee is hearing from the Auditor-General about this matter. We have received a letter, as Mr Seselja said, about this matter. Obviously, the PAC has not spoken about Mr Seselja’s statement and I do not know what it is. Without knowing that, my view would be that PAC is dealing with this matter. We are going to talk to the Auditor-General about it. That would seem to be the next move to make in this situation. I would think that is the appropriate thing to do. This is a matter that is before the public accounts committee. The public accounts committee is working on it. I think it would be appropriate to let that process continue.

Question put:

That Mr Seselja’s motion be agreed to.

MRS DUNNE: Scrutiny report 21 contains the committee’s comments on two bills—that is, the serious organised crime bill and the surveillance devices bill. We had interim comments in the previous report. There are 10 government responses and the government’s amendments to the Fair Trading (Motor Vehicle Repair Industry) Bill 2009.
