House debates Questions without Notice
Special Minister of State
Mark Dreyfus Isaacs, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Attorney General

My question is to the Prime Minister. In June 2009, the Prime Minister said:
He’s the one that has misled the Parliament. That is an offence that should result in the dismissal or resignation of a Minister. It is perfectly clear.
Prime Minister, isn't it perfectly clear, because the Special Minister Of State misled the parliament yesterday and again this morning, he should be sacked immediately?
Malcolm Turnbull Wentworth, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
While I know that the shadow Attorney-General has a very high opinion of his own powers and judgements, his simply asserting that somebody has misled the parliament does not make it so.
