Thank you Mr Speaker, my question is to the Premier.
Premier, yesterday I asked you a straightforward question regarding donations to the Tasmanian Liberal Party from vested interests in the gambling industry.
You churlishly refused to answer the question.
I am well aware that the returns on the Australian Electoral Commission show that since 2016 approximately $1.1m has been donated by those associated with the gaming industry to the Tasmanian Liberal Party.
And I note that the returns for the 20/21 year are yet to be published.
But Tasmanian donation disclosure laws are weak, and your party has likely received significantly more donations than declared to the AEC.
I asked you to make a more complete disclosure to the Tasmanian people, including all cash donations and in-kind assistance, instead of hiding behind weak donation disclosure laws.
So I ask you again:
Over the past five years, how much money and in-kind assistance has been donated to the Tasmanian Liberal Party and Liberal candidates, by organisations, companies or individuals associated with the gambling industry?
