I refer to the period leading up to the implementation of the Northbridge curfew. (1) Was the Government involved in meetings with Northbridge retailers, or representative bodies, in the months preceding the commencement of the curfew? (2) Did the Government receive any requests for assistance from Northbridge retailers to clear the streets of unsupervised youths in the evenings? (3) Did the Australian Labor Party receive any donations or other contributions from Northbridge retailers, either individually or collectively, in the lead-up to the implementation of the curfew, or has it received any subsequent to its implementation?
