470. Ms L. METTAM to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Will the Premier offer an ironclad guarantee that there are no organised crime
links to the money bankrolling his campaign?
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order, please!

AnswerView source ↗

Madam Speaker, sometimes the supplementary
questions are incomprehensible. What I can guarantee is that our accountability
laws around political donations to political parties will shine a light on any
political party's source of donations. I make this observation: there
was one political party that opposed those laws—that one over there!
The Liberal Party opposed accountability for political donations. The question
must be asked: what amongst its political donors is it trying to hide?
The SPEAKER : That concludes
question time.
