Yesterday in question time the Prime Minister held up a letter from the Emerald Shire Council. I will quote the Hansard. He said it was ‘addressed to you know who: it is the member for Flinders’, so he clearly stated that it was addressed to me. A little investigation has revealed no such letter was addressed to me. The letter he held in his hand, which he had before him at the time, was clearly addressed to the minister for the environment. The statement was false, given that he had the very letter in his hand.
