An article in today’s Australian by Dennis Shanahan purports to directly quote from comments I am alleged to have made in a private meeting yesterday with a Chinese parliamentary delegation. While I do not propose to further betray the confidence of those discussions, I can confirm that the quotes which have been attributed to me are not accurate.
