My question is to be Minister representing the Special Minister of State. An infamous evil in history—and I quote—devised his movement: 'Repeat a lie continuously, continually and constantly, and people will believe it's the truth even though it is a lie.' The LNP Townsville are obviously fellow travellers. The Hinchinbrook by-election has had the worst lying I've encountered in 25 years in politics, and that's saying a lot. The LNP said, 'We support castle law.' They've opposed its introduction three times. 'We're not going to abolish coal.' They've kept the coal tax, which will abolish coal. Three mineshave effectively closed. The LNP said KAP candidate Molachino had been for Labor. We have the text messages showing the LNP approached him as their first-choice candidate for Hinchinbrook. Minister, do we have an avenue to stop flagrant, unconscionable LNP lying?
