Mr Hanson: The foreword to the quarterly report.

MS GALLAGHER: And the foreword, yes, which was built on the media release. As you know, I think from that time on, certainly in the last couple of quarters, I have not released a media release with that. It caused so much upset to the Liberals that the performance reports have just been placed online.

The audit will look at all these issues. As we know, audits do find problems, as Mr Seselja may well know, with the $130,000 audit that he just had into his office. The one thing—

Mr Coe: Let’s talk about that audit. Let’s talk about that.

MS GALLAGHER: Yes, let’s talk about that, all right. Let’s find the problems that that audit found. What was it? Systemic and serious failure—

Members interjecting—

MR SPEAKER: Order, members!

MS GALLAGHER: A systemic and serious failure of the only thing that Mr Seselja actually manages.

Members interjecting—

MR SPEAKER: Order! Ms Gallagher, sit down. Thank you, one moment. Members, this is unacceptable. I cannot hear what is going on in here. The Chief Minister has the floor.

Mr Seselja: Thank you, Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: The Chief Minister still has the floor.

Mr Seselja: Yes I know, Mr Speaker. I have a point of order. If you are going to call us to order, you might ask the Chief Minister to be relevant to the question.

MR SPEAKER: Mr Seselja, you will notice that I did not pinpoint anybody because it was quite obvious that both sides of the chamber were making a lot of noise. I asked it of the whole chamber. Chief Minister, you have the floor, and let us stick to the question, thank you.

MS GALLAGHER: Thank you, Mr Speaker, and I am sticking to the question. The question was about how can anyone have trust in audits and the work that is underway to correct the data.

Mr Seselja: No.

MS GALLAGHER: Well, that is the last bit that I heard.
