John Howard similarly lied to Parliament about the reasons for attacking Iraq in 2003.
In all cases alternative information waas available but ignored by the executive and Parliament. Successive Australian governments have maintained the lie and the liars have never been held accountable. More than a law change is needed if we seek real reform.
