It is very interesting. The member for Fraser was their campaign director. This money was raised. It is not in dispute. But the member for Grayndler cannot even bring himself to mildly criticise let alone mention this. We now know, through confirmation from the other side, that the member for Fraser was spending the money that was being raised, at the very least. I think that, when he interjected, he said that the money would not have come to the national head office of the Labor Party. That raises all sorts of other questions, doesn’t it? I tell you one thing, Member for Fraser: in 1987 I was 20 and in 1987 the member for Grayndler would have been about 30—or am I being cruel?
