          <by role="member" id="3125">The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (14:40):</by>  My question is to the Assistant Minister to the Premier regarding multicultural affairs. Can the assistant minister advise the council whether in the last two days she or anyone associated with her has been telephoning guests who attended the Liberal Party fundraiser to warn them against giving any information to the media, the opposition or anyone else?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4362">The Hon. J.S. LEE (14:40):</by>  Mr President, I find the many questions asked by the opposition to be very insulting. They think that it was a multicultural event. While I have come from a multicultural background and some of the guests come from a multicultural background, that doesn't mean we are not Australian and have equal rights providing the freedom and liberty to choose whether to go to an event or not. I think that we should not let this parliament and this chamber waste so much energy and time on this matter, because it has nothing to do with me serving as assistant minister or me serving in the portfolio of multicultural affairs.</text>
