Loans clash as Whitlam to table documents in push on Cairns saga
The Prime Minister is set to table a mass of documents on Dr Cairns loan-raising efforts, including ministerial reports and letters to intermediary Tirath Khemlani. Fraser warned two main thrusts exist: that the projects exceed constitutional funding limits and that the authorization under Section 61 was misused. The government keeps tactics tight ahead of today’s House and Senate sittings, with a caucus planned to brief Labor members and a firm stance against broad debate.
