Ms BADGER – Minister, in the past 18 months, have you, as an individual, been the subject of, or party to, any Supreme Court matters?
Mr ELLIS – No. There may have been matters as they relate to the minister for mines, but we’ll have to double-check in terms of any kind of particular matters that are related to that role. But me, personally, no.
Ms BADGER – Thank you. Just to clarify, are we able to put that on notice or do we have to come back and ask you again in that portfolio?
Mr ELLIS – I’ll double-check because there may be matters that ministers are party to as they relate to previous ministers in the role that I now have carriage of in business industry and resources, but as far as me personally, no.
Ms BADGER – Thank you. To clarify, minister, in the past 18 months, have you, as an individual, incurred any legal costs that have been covered by taxpayer dollars?
Mr ELLIS – No.
