LEE (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:46):</by>  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?</text>
