My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to this statement by her head of communications, John McTernan:

The key is to … set out a defensible truth: one that you will not have to expand, modify or resile from.

With her defensible truth over the role of her office in the Australia Day riots crumbling, will she now answer the question put to her yesterday: if she has not viewed the text messages between Kim Sattler and Tony Hodges on Australia Day, how has she verified that her statements with respect to this matter are true?
