My question is again to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm reports in the Age on 10 February that the exposure of his links with the Exclusive Brethren has caused his office to ban contact between Liberal MPs and the Exclusive Brethren ahead of the next campaign? Are these reports accurate?

John Howard

John Howard Bennelong, Liberal Party, Prime Minister

The answer to the honourable gentleman’s question is no.
