I ask this question: was it Walt Secord who advised the Leader of the Opposition to claim that his productivity manual had been stolen when in fact it had been lost? June 14 was Fundamental Incompetence Day; yesterday, 19 June, ought to go down as Fundamental Dishonesty Day, with the Leader of the Opposition, advised by the dirty tricks merchants from the New South Wales Labor right, going out and peddling that blatant lie. What is pretty clear is this—move over St Kevin; the halo has been ripped off—the union thugs and the dirty tricks merchants from Hawker Britton are running this opposition.
