My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has claimed that the sewerage works was originally part of the Prime Minister's invite-only, taxpayer funded $6 million grant for the Marrickville Golf Club. Why won't the Prime Minister provide a single document confirming that the money was to pay for the sewerage works?

I thank the member for the question. However, the premise of the question is wrong. This wasn't about invite-only. This is an election commitment, just like the 1,000 election commitments made by those opposite, worth a total of $1.644 billion.
