The Attorney just passed me a note which advises that only an aggrieved party can refer matters to the Australian Human Rights Commission. That is the first point. In terms of the incident, the statement that the New South Wales Liberal Party has put out reads as follows:

The Liberal Party has been made aware of an incident that allegedly occurred at a meeting tonight. The Party will fully cooperate with the Police in relation to their inquiries. An internal investigation will also be undertaken and disciplinary action taken against those responsible.

The Liberal Party strongly condemns the kind of behaviour that is alleged to have occurred.

I entirely concur in that condemnation by the New South Wales Liberal Party and look forward to their providing full cooperation to the police in their inquiries.
