If Senator Lundy (or any of the other pollies) are really interested
in finding out what happened, all they have to do is get Gillian Marks

If you want to know who Gillian Marks is and where she fits in, just
do a search at http://search.aph.gov.au/search/

One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a
tree. Which road do I take? she asked. His response was a question:
Where do you want to go? I don't know, Alice answered. Then, said the
cat, it doesn't matter.
