Michael Keenan (Stirling, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. I remind the Prime Minister of his explicit commitment that he would reject all political donations to the Labor Party from Kevin Reynolds and Joe McDonald of the West Australian division of the CFMEU and to his commitment yesterday that since the year 2000 the federal Labor Party has ‘not received any donations from the Western Australian construction division of the CFMEU’. I further refer him to the following comments by Mr Reynolds in the lead-up to the 2007 federal election:

Interviewer: How much of that money has been budgeted for Western Australian seats?

Reynolds: $40,000.

Interviewer: Okay, whereabouts?

Reynolds: Stirling and Hasluck., 20 grand each.

Prime Minister, as Stirling and Hasluck are federal seats, do you still claim that you kept your promise?
