Did the Premier's now chief of staff, Courtney Morcombe, ask Ms Sally Zou to donate money to St Peter's Girls' School, due to Ms Sally Zou tweeting a copy of a Commonwealth Bank cheque made out to the Premier on the Premier's birthday—rather than the money going to the Liberal Party, to St Peter's Girls' School.</text>

Perhaps they could declare whether or not she made a donation. We live in a country where people are free to make donations to all sorts of organisations. In politics, though, we have special arrangements for disclosure of those donations, and all those donations to our political party, to the best of my ability, have been made in accordance with those disclosure arrangements. Only the Labor Party can speak for their arrangements. We have seen some evidence of that interstate of recent times—quite disgraceful behaviour by the Australian Labor Party, but if the—</text>

Well, I am here to tell you that is not the case.</text>
