Liberal Party, Sexual Assault Allegations

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:05): My question is to the Premier. Can the Premier assure the house that the alleged assailant of Ms Chelsey Potter has never been in the employment of the South Australian Liberal Party opposition or the South Australian Liberal government?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (14:05): Can I give this assurance to the house—that in the event that anyone in the workplaces of our offices is in any way assaulted or has misconduct appropriated towards them, they will have the support of myself and this government to ensure that, firstly, they have all of the redress of support of the available facilities to them and that, secondly, if appropriate, they be assisted to refer the matter to the police and/or an appropriate authority, such as the Equal Opportunity Commission.

I make this commitment to the parliament—that in any circumstance such as that, if any of the members of this house feel in any way that a member of their staff was placed in this position and they need assistance or guidance as to where the matter be referred to, I will personally have my door open to assist them in that regard.
