The response has been wholly inadequate. Senator Dastyari had to be compelled by a resolution of the Senate to give an account of himself and respond to the serious allegation made by Fairfax Media and the ABC, and I accept Senator Farrell's assurance that he will do so.

Kristina Keneally and Senator Sam Dastyari'. It says:

… the night is set to be very entertaining—

and—

filled with laughter and joy. So book a table—

$150 a table—

with your friends today!

That sounded like a very interesting function, so imagine my disappointment when we looked at the same webpage this morning to discover that 'This page was not found'!
