My question is to the Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction. Section 253 of the New South Wales Crimes Act creates a serious indictable offence for making a false document to influence the exercise of a public duty. I refer to his provision of a forged City of Sydney document to The Daily Telegraph in an attempt to influence the Lord Mayor of Sydney in the exercise of her public duty. Will the minister assure the House that this forgery was not made by him or his office?

Yes.
