John Howard (Bennelong, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

We are all subject to the rule of law in this country. The law has been changed since T2, and I am prevented thereby from giving investment advice. I thank the member for Lyons, who I know enjoys the respect of many people on both sides of this House, for honouring me with a belief that I could give bona fide investment advice. If I were free to do so, I would express my view, but the law, as amended by this parliament since T2, now enjoins me and I am restrained. I can talk about other things to do with Telstra but not about the share price.
