Claim: Howard misled Australian voters on refugee issue
2004-12-10
Posted by:God Save The World

#1  This was the case where the person in question (Scrafton) claimed to have discussed 3 separate topics with Howard, including telling him that refugees throwing their children overboard was untrue. Howard continued to say refugees threw children overboard, which is the basis for the misled/lied claim. Phone records subsequently showed the phone call was all of 51 seconds long. Clearly too short a period of time to discuss 3 topics as Scrafton claimed, but he was trapped in his claim and proven to be the liar (but never let it be said the Australian Labour party doesn't know how to flog a dead horse). Aint technology a bitch.
