In a doorstop interview this morning the member for Wakefield falsely, and without evidence, said:

Luke Simpkins from the seat of Cowan revealed that there was a secret Liberal blueprint.

His statement was false. Anyone can check the transcripts of Hansard and the media reports. It is just not true in any respect, as usual.
