Mr COWDREY (Colton) (14:25): My question is again to the Premier. Has the Premier received any meeting requests from the CFMEU and, if so, how has he responded?

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:25): I am not, to the best of my knowledge—and I put that qualification on there only because I receive countless media requests—aware of any request coming directly to me—

Mrs Hurn interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for Schubert!

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS: —with respect to a meeting with the CFMEU. I think the best evidence of that, to extrapolate the detail for the member for Colton, is that I have not met with Mr Setka or any representative of the CFMEU in recent weeks or months.

Mr Cowdrey: Are you happy to take that on notice?

The SPEAKER: Order! Member for Colton, I am not certain that you are asking a supplementary question, in which case your contribution is contrary to the standing orders and you are warned for a third time.
