Member for Waite

Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:22): My question is to the Attorney-General. Did the Attorney-General inform the Premier that there was an allegation of assault conveyed to her by the Hon. Connie Bonaros?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (14:22): Again, I indicate to the member that I won't be traversing any of the particulars that have been conveyed to me in relation to this incident or any other in the time I have been here in the parliament. I have conveyed to the Premier that the Hon. Ms Bonaros attended this event, on the information that she provided, and that there were approaches made to her that were unwelcome and clearly unacceptable. I won't be traversing what information she provided to me during that conversation, but I can tell the house that I undertook to her to refer that matter to the Premier, which I did, and that, as would be implicit from my previous answer, I had done so to previous premier, premier Rann.
