Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. In an extraordinary statement today, Dyson Heydon AC QC has confirmed that he accepted an invitation to speak at a fundraiser knowing full well it was organised by—and I quote Mr Heydon—'one of the lawyer branches of the Liberal Party, of the New South Wales division'. Doesn't this make it clear that the royal commission has been politicised from the start and the Prime Minister should withdraw Mr Heydon's commission?
