Also why on earth did the PM’s wife need to suggest to him that behaving with some empathy might be a good idea? Isn’t behaving with empathy a normal human response that we should expect from everyone, especially those in power?

Nick McKenzie's text reveals he did meet with me before 60 Minutes broadcast where he did not put to me any of the allegations he later made. He appears to be an unethical liar. A pattern emerges: he peddles a secret agenda of a political hack using their illegal recordings.
