Donations to Political Parties

Tuesday, 25 February 2014 House of Representatives

Mr Tony Burke

Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to Steve Nolan Constructions, which donated $200,000 to the Liberal Party last year and recently went into administration owing subcontractors millions of dollars. Will the Prime Minister direct the LNP to repay this donation to the workers whose entitlements are now at risk?

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop Speaker

Order! The Prime Minister is not responsible for the administration of the LNP and I rule the question out of order.
