We want to make sure it delivers integrity.I not going to second-guess how people would feel about those comments. The Prime Minister said that.We want to make sure – I do, as the Prime Minister, and the Coalition Government – that any Commonwealth integrity commission delivers justice, it delivers a presumption of innocence and it doesn’t deliver a show trial which is exactly what the Prime Minister is objecting too.I think that Katherine Deves is fighting for an important cause, which is fairness for women in sport … I would not use those words. I wouldn’t use them on social media, and I wouldn’t use them in conversation with you or anyone. Prime minister to make clean energy technology investment as Labor leader promises childcare reform.
