Malcolm Turnbull accused of Lying

Malcolm Turnbull accused of blatantly lying.
He has been accused by Delimiter of lying to radio station Triple J and to that great paragon of virtue Alan Jones on 2GB.
From Delimiter.

Quote:
Malcolm Turnbull earlier this week made several statements on Alan Jones’ breakfast show on 2GB radio which the Communications Minister is aware are false, repeating incorrect information he had previously broadcast on the ABC’s Triple J several weeks ago and failing to correct incorrect information broadcast by Jones himself.
Renai from Delimiter continues.
Quote:
I remind you of the Australian Government’s Standards of Ministerial Ethics document, which is published on line here in PDF format. This document states:
“Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries hold high public office and are entrusted with considerable privilege and power. The people of Australia are entitled to expect that, in the discharge of their duties, they will act in a manner that is consistent with the highest standards of integrity and propriety.”
The document further states:
“Ministers are expected to be honest in the conduct of public office and take all reasonable steps to ensure that they do not mislead the public or the Parliament. It is a Minister’s personal responsibility to ensure that any error or misconception in relation to such a matter is corrected or clarified, as soon as practicable and in a manner appropriate to the issues and interests involved.”
Renai has pointed out on a number of occasions Turnbull's misleading comments. It is unfortunate that this will not be aired in the Murdoch press or the ABC.
The ABC had Malcolm Turnbull on Q&A this week and Tony Jones the moderator went out of his way to shut down NBN questions to Turnbull.
I cannot believe that Turnbull was not asked any questions on the NBN considering he is the Communications Minister responsible for this huge infrastructure build.
Something is fishy there.
