Peter Costello (Higgins, Liberal Party, Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

Here we are: ‘Leader of the Opposition, the Hon. Kim Beazley’. Get a load of this. This is how it is headed up: ‘Partial transcript of a doorstop interview, Pyrmont, 12 August 2006’. When you go all the way through here, there is only one question that never made it—we have Wilson Tuckey mentioned; we have Lebanon mentioned; we have the UN mentioned; we have Sydney airport mentioned—the question about the Reserve Bank governor. Why would you go to all the effort of putting out a partial transcript of your comments? I will tell you why. Because you faked the contents and you did not have the guts to put out the fact that you did not even know who the Governor of the Reserve Bank was.
