STATEMENT BY THE PRIME MINISTER, THE HION P J KEATING MP
The allegation tonight by Dr Hcwson that I have corruptly bcnefitcd personally from
Government decisions is an unsustainable and outrageCous slur.
Dr Hewson, who last week decried factual revelations about his tax minimisation as
" gutter politics" has tonight made a highly defamatory claim which he knows he cannot
back up.
He should withdraw it and apologise immediately.
