      I ask anyone who witnessed the questions put yesterday by the member for Bradfield and today by the members for Mitchell, Riverina and Sturt and who noted the answers given by the Deputy PM, to excuse or explain the lack of rigour and competence on the part of the Opposition’s Tactics Committee.
      How can they ask a question without first ascertaining the facts or anticipating that this Minister would fully acquaint herself with the complete background.
