Mr BEAZLEY (2:04 PM) —My question is again to the Treasurer. Will the Treasurer confirm that on the Alan Jones program this morning he said:

I’ll be a candidate for the leadership if there is a vacancy, but there is no vacancy, and I have said so on many occasions and, frankly, I’m just sick of talking about it.

When was the first occasion that the Treasurer stated his new white flag formula?


Mr COSTELLO (Treasurer) —Another false premise. And, of course, this has been stated as being my position over and over again so often that I am about as sick of saying this as I am of hearing questions from the Leader of the Opposition.
