Lesson from TV

Here's a lesson from TV's Yes Minister series: Once a politician denies a fact -- that fact is guaranteed to be true.

Federal parliament is attempting to pass what is referred to as, "Christian Porter's union-busting Bill" (The West, 26 Nov).

"The PM rubbished Labor claims the Bill would have unions deregistered over paper-work." The PM rubbished claims?! That's as good as a denial...

So it seems to be true: Christian Porter's "Ensuring Integrity" Bill -- an excellently sarcastic name -- will allow unions to be deregistered over shoddy paperwork.
