I want to ask a question about that matter, Mr Speaker. The question concerns your responsibility for the conduct of the House and the assurance that no person is being deliberately misled by the actions of any other person. This is quite serious, Mr Speaker. It is quite evident from the materials produced by the minister’s own department that the statement he made that Grayndler was the largest recipient, in order to make a political point against my colleague and against the Labor Party, was simply a lie.
