CFMEU

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:37): I seek leave to make a brief explanation prior to asking a question of the Leader of the Government in this place regarding the CFMEU.

Leave granted.

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI: It was reported in the media over the weekend that workplace relations minister, Murray Watt, had received serious threats by people connected to the CFMEU and that the threats were so serious police were stationed outside Minister Watt's home. My questions to the Leader of the Government in this place are:

1. Has the Premier or any government minister increased their security or been advised to increase their security in the last three months?

2. Has the war begun between the political wing and the industrial wing of the South Australian Labor Party?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:38): In relation to the first question, not that I'm aware of. In relation to the second question, no, we are both parts of the broad labour movement.
