Kevin Rudd (Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

I refer to the Prime Minister’s answer to the previous question, where he said words to the effect that he had been misreported, by the Australian Financial Review, that he was backing the private equity bid to take over Qantas. Prime Minister, if you want to correct that record, please do so. Prime Minister, I refer to your direct quote in today’s Financial Review where it is reported that you said:

… it was not for his government to dictate how Qantas shareholders chose to sell their private property.

Prime Minister, could you explain the compatibility of that remark with the statement that you made before?
