Yesterday, in the other place, one Senator Mathias Cormann claimed that about 15 years ago I had campaigned against the Northbridge Tunnel and the Graham Farmer Freeway, only to rush to the front row and take a seat at the official opening. I have no recollection of such an event and I have written to Senator Cormann today and asked him to produce evidence of this allegation that he is making.
