QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (14:00): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Yesterday, in relation to the Prime Minister's honorary membership of the Marrickville golf club, which was given $6 million of taxpayer funded grant by his government despite no other golf club in Australia receiving similar treatment, the Prime Minister said he doesn't have a card as a member of the club, he doesn't know the executive of the club and he doesn't use the facilities.

A video has now surfaced of the Prime Minister addressing members of the Marrickville golf club in 2019 in which he says: I've been coming here for decades and using this club. Was the Prime Minister telling the truth in the parliament in 2019 when he addressed the members of the Marrickville golf club?
