Domestic Violence

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:53): My question is to the Attorney-General regarding domestic violence. What does the Attorney-General have to say in response to Emma Walters' public comments that the Premier 'is happy to take money with domestic violence fingerprints'?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:53): Sorry, I missed the last bit—'happy to'?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: Emma Walters' comments that the Premier 'is happy to take money with domestic violence fingerprints'.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: I thank the honourable member for her question. I really don't know what it refers to or the context, so I find it a little bit difficult to answer.

The PRESIDENT: Have another go.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: Thank you, Mr President. Emma Walters, being the wife of Mr John Setka, has described the Premier as 'happy to take money with domestic violence fingerprints' in relation to the CFMEU donation.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: I thank the honourable member for the clarification. I think the donation the member refers to has been returned.
