Mrs CROSIO —I would like to direct my question without notice to the Minister for Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs. I draw the minister's attention to an article in today's Fairfield-Liverpool Champion reporting that a firm, Employment Interactive, has won a tender for 12 employment service sites around Sydney. Isn't it the case that this is an unincorporated body—it has no infrastructure, no offices and no employees? Can the minister inform the House what financial viability checks were made on the organisation's principal, Mr Khadar Roude? Can the minister also inform the House what probity checks were made on Mr Roude, who as an employee of the Islamic Council of New South Wales helped write the council's unsuccessful tender whilst separately tendering?

Mr SPEAKER —This is getting very, very close to being out of order.

Mrs CROSIO —Is the minister concerned that, even though Employment Interactive has hung out its shingle, Mr Roude has come to an arrangement for the work to be done by another group because he cannot deliver on the tender?

Mr SPEAKER —I think you might write him a letter. I ask the honourable member to sit down, to resume her seat, rewrite the question and put it in order. Next question please. I call the honourable member for Aston.

Mr Crean —Mr Speaker, I raise a point of order. Are you ruling that that question is out of order?

Mr SPEAKER —That question is out of order.

Mr Crean —Then I dissent from your ruling.

Mr SPEAKER —You may, but you have to do it in writing and you have to do it immediately. I don't hear you until you have written it out and I have received it at the table. I will call the honourable member for Aston directly.
