I think each and every member of the government would take extreme offence at an assertion that talks about the criminal behaviour of their ministers, a slur across the board. The opposition, and Mr Dreyfus in particular, have a track record of throwing mud, of throwing allegations and of writing letters off to police and to others. And what have all of those letters delivered so far? What have all those allegations amounted to? Naught, zip, zero, zilch—nothing at all in terms of all of Mr Dreyfus's approaches over the years. He writes off these letters. He's like a vexatious litigant who keeps going on and on and on making the claims, and nothing comes to fruition as a result of it.
