Domestic Violence

The Hon. J.S. LEE (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:46): My question is to the Attorney-General regarding domestic violence. Does the Attorney-General agree with the Premier that domestic violence should be a politics-free zone or does he agree with domestic violence survivor Emma Waters? Can the Attorney-General please provide the reasons behind his response?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:47): I don't think any of us who are elected members should play politics with domestic violence. I think it's a very important issue.
