Luxe Haus

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:26): A supplementary arising from the answer: during the answer, the minister said that he only became aware of the association with the Luxe Haus, I think he said, sometime in 2017 before the election, so the minister was clearly aware of who this person was and his association with the Luxe Haus. Is it honestly the minister's contention, when he was asked yesterday, that he doesn't recall meeting any of these people, that yesterday he could not recall having ever met Mr Ahlburg?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:27): In the context of my responsibility to the house as a minister, I had not met with him or his people with the Luxe Haus. I have seen the commentary in the media. I think the sort of behaviour that I said we talked about yesterday, which is not community standards and is really now drifting into a police matter. If it's noise, if it's antisocial behaviour, if it's setting fire to cars, certainly I am not responsible to the chamber for that, and it really is a matter for the police.
