PRIME MINISTER
FOR MEDIA 16 MARCH 1988
The Liberals have crawled into the gutter. I sought on some
occasions during the course of a blackjack game to play one
box. That was permitted. No-one suggested to me that this
was against the rules. The rules vary from State to State.
On a subsequent visit to the casino, the rule on playing one
box was, for the first time, drawn to my attention and I
readily and happily accepted it.
The matter in question occurred some 15 months ago. No
official reports on this matter have been drawn to my
attention since then.
