With regard to the person I should not mention, who is easily identifiable and happens to be in control of public funds, I make no apology for highlighting the facts in this House on behalf of the people. For far too long we have tiptoed around a practice that is not in the best interests of the people, but I will not tiptoe around it today. I ask the Minister to come to the House to highlight for us what precisely is going on with the west and north west hospital group, which is what we need to know.

I wish to say how delighted I am by the nomination of Senator Barrett to the banking inquiry. One feels absolutely assured that his contribution will be second to none in the context of his intended participation.
