Thank you. As I said, my question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Minister, yesterday in question time the Prime Minister said:
That is the Uluru Statement from the Heart on an A4 bit of paper. That is it.
He then held up a single sheet of paper and called any suggestion that the Uluru statement was a longer document a 'conspiracy theory and nonsense'. But in 2018 at the Henry Parkes oration Professor Megan Davis said:
The Uluru Statement from the Heart isn't just the first one-page statement; it's actually a very lengthy document of about 18 to 20 pages, and a very powerful part of this document reflects what happened in the dialogues.
Does the government consider Professor Davis to be a conspiracy theorist? If not, will the Prime Minister apologise for misleading the parliament and correct the record?
