Mr Howard says voters deserve to know what went on in the meetings
between Mr Rudd and Mr Burke in 2005.

He says the Opposition Leader is not being honest.

"Mr Rudd keeps avoiding, dare I say it, the inconvenient truth," Mr Howard said.

"The inconvenient truth is that he hasn't told the truth."

The Prime Minister says voters want their leaders to be candid.

But Mr Rudd says Mr Howard is being hypocritical by questioning his integrity.

"I tell you what didn't happen at these meetings and at this dinner," he said.

"What I didn't do is I didn't take Australia to war on the basis of a lie.

"I didn't say that when it comes to children overboard, that people
deliberately threw their kids into the water.

"I didn't authorise $300 million to be paid in bribes to Saddam
Hussein's regime."

Mr Rudd says he is happy for honesty and integrity to be front and
centre of the next election campaign.
