Yes, most grievously and with malice aforethought.

James Massola, Jacqueline Maley, Eliza Borrello, Lauren Gianoli, Leah Craven, Brihony Speed and many others have incorrectly tweeted that they won the netball game. But, as my colleague would correctly attest, we won the game three points to two.

I thank the member for Moreton for correcting the record.
