I think you highlight exactly one of the challenges in this space. When colleagues, often benefiting from parliamentary privilege and the immunity that comes with that, assert a series of falsehoods and then purport to ask a question, it leads to a considerable disservice in the public understanding. Something as important as who gets to decide what portions of a report done by representatives of all political parties, Mr. Ruff being one of them, and including senators from the other place, who would have been in those rooms while that report was being prepared.... For him to confirm that the redactions of that report are done by officials, with zero input from any political staff person or from an elected person....
Just to lay bare the falsehood of Mr. Cooper—the idea that the Prime Minister redacted that report—I think Mr. Ruff answered that very compellingly and confirmed that this is absolutely bogus.
