00:01The Deputy Premier driving in for the LNP's big donation drive.
00:08Are you hoping to make some money today for the LNP?
00:11This is about talking to businesses and we don't have the unions.
00:14But that talk isn't cheap.
00:15The LNP charging between seven and a half and ten and a half thousand dollars
00:21for today's event in Brisbane.
00:23Do donors have to pay money to meet with you?
00:26That's my understanding.
00:27We said we'd do that before the election and we're doing it.
00:30Giving attendees the opportunity to have 15 minute meetings
00:34with the Premier and his ministers.
00:36All of it's declared as per the rules.
00:39We have made it abundantly clear over many years now
00:41that we don't have the resources of the unions like the CFMEU.
00:45Opposition leader Stephen Miles is demanding transparency.
00:49What's appropriate is for Queenslanders to know who is providing that cash,
00:55who they're meeting with and what they're getting in return.
00:58But can't say how much Labor charged for similar cash for access events
01:03when it was in power.
01:05That's a question you'd have to put to the ALP State Secretary.
01:08The former Labor government did this in government
01:11and we said we would continue it.
01:13The government is promising ministers will disclose who they've met with
01:16at the fundraiser in their official public diaries.
01:21Are you a big money maker?
01:22Thank you, Jack.
01:23That makes sense.
01:27.
01:29Thanks a while.
