Question Time

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:23): My question is to the Treasurer regarding misuse of private data. Does the Treasurer stand by comments the Premier made yesterday in relation to interactions with government websites, when the Premier said, 'I made it abundantly clear this morning that no person had been redirected to a Liberal Party website or platform'?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:24): I made it absolutely clear I am 100 per cent behind the Premier's statement yesterday, as all in the government will be, when the Premier said yesterday, 'The Marshall Liberal government has not been using state government websites to collect or track data for the Liberal Party. Reports that this has occurred are false.' I and all members of the government, I am sure, are 100 per cent, lock step, locked and loaded behind the Premier in terms of his unequivocal responses.
