Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Mackellar, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Seniors) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to an article by a respected journalist, Tory Maguire, in the Punchon 27 January. She wrote:

Tony Hodges, who was the one trawling the Press Gallery yesterday afternoon trying to sheet home blame for the ugly scenes to the Opposition Leader ...

Who instructed Mr Hodges to carry out such a briefing? Can the Prime Minister guarantee that Mr Sam Casey, then of her media unit and present in the press gallery on the afternoon of Australia Day at the same time as Mr Hodges, did not similarly brief journalists?

See this speech in context
