Member for Waite

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (16:20): My question is for the Leader of the Government in the Legislative Council. Does the Leader of the Government in this chamber think that someone who assaults women should hold office as a member of parliament?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (16:21): I'm not going to add anything further to the comments I made in response to the earlier question. There is a process that has been established, as I said in response to the questions asked by the Leader of the Opposition. I don't rely on public reporting by the media, with great respect to my friends and colleagues in the media, to be an accurate portrayal of the facts of the situation. I will await the results of the investigation. I have indicated in response to the earlier question that the actions, as reported and if accurate, of the member on that particular evening are completely unacceptable to the Premier, to the government and to me.
