Mr SWAN (2:36 PM)
—My question is directed to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to his Waters Edge dinner with three senior journalists in 2005. Can the Treasurer confirm that following the Treasurer departing the dinner, the three journalists discussed the accuracy of their notes in the presence of the Treasurer’s press secretary?
Mr COSTELLO (Treasurer)
—How can I confirm what happens when I am not present? What a ridiculous question. Can you confirm my walk down the street after you left the parliament last night, Mr Speaker?
Mr Swan
—Mr Speaker, my point of order is very simple: the Treasurer could ask his press secretary.
The SPEAKER
—The member for Lilley will resume his seat; that is not a point of order.
Mr COSTELLO
—As I said, what a foolish question; what a foolish questioner.
