So the question that obviously follows from that is if the Speaker knew he'd made a mistake within 24 hours—a number of questions follow from that. Firstly, why he didn't apologise straight away and admit that he'd made a mistake—because it's worth recalling this has ended up costing the taxpayer $340,000, and rising, and we need to know why there wasn't an immediate admission of wrongdoing. Why, when the plaintiff wrote to him, or his lawyers, and said, "I'd like an apology and a retraction and a commitment to not say it again," that was not met with immediate acceptance. Again, bearing in mind he knew immediately or nearly immediately he'd made a mistake, why was that not met with acceptance? Why was that rejected?
