My question is to the Prime Minister. In 2019, how did the Daily Telegraph know you were an honorary member of the Marrickville golf club, and you didn't? Or is this just another case of you falling off a stage?

In 2019, there was a campaign where Linda Burney, the local member, was one of the leaders of the campaign. I certainly supported it, as did people throughout the area of the Inner West, on both sides of the Cooks River, because this is an absolutely vital and precious piece of the Inner West of Sydney—just like we have had projects including the Cooks River bike path, just like the water park down there at Steel Park and a range of other projects that have improved the amenity.
What we did was go to an election campaign and make commitments for around about 500 projects. What you did was you went to an election campaign with more than triple—$1.6 billion for more than 1,000 projects. But you couldn't find one of the 1,000 in the Inner West of Sydney.

I'd like to table the Daily Telegraph article which refers to the Prime Minister as an honorary member. Here it is.
