That is a matter of criminal investigation at present, Senator.
You know it and I know it. It would be completely unfair to other members of the committee and certainly unfair to the inquiry given what we have seen happen previously. A recent judgment more or less removed many years of the work of a tribunal because of a faultline being implanted into its work. Please move on to a different line of questioning. You know very well, as do other committee members, that matters before the Director of Public Prosecutions or subject to a criminal prosecution are not for discussion in this inquiry; they are outside the terms of reference.
