AnswerView source ↗
Page 11 of the draft ALP policy on law and order came to me and had nothing to do with the fire, which I understand occurred at the summer palace. I am unaware of any break-in at the Leader of the Opposition’s office, either in Parliament or anywhere else, and certainly have no knowledge of any such action. Mr Kobelke: Where did you get it from? Mr PRINCE: The paper came to me from an impeccable source but which had nothing to do with any illegal act.
