What Premier Lennon knew or did not know is not for me to comment on. All I know is that he does not know much. Apart from that, whether Mr Lennon knew what the RPDC had in mind is, if I might say, a terrible slur on the RPDC, because it suggests that the RPDC leaked the outcome to the Premier prior to the end of the hearings. That is an assertion that I am not prepared to accept. Whilst the Greens go around spreading their conspiracy theories, as they are so wont to do, they do their cause no good. Of course, on that basis I would encourage them to continue.
