Lied by claiming that $90 million worth of oil forAustralia's stockpile in the USA was bought at "record low prices".The oil was bought at 40 USD per barrel, around the time when prices plummetedto negative 37 USD per barrel, because the markets thought all oilstorage facilities were full. The Australian government actually had 23 millionlitres of empty storage space within a day's drive of the negatively pricedoil. Had the Australian government actually bought at the record low, theywould have been paid 90 million AUD to take oil off others' hands. Thegovernment tried to keep secret the actual price they overpaid (despiteproclaiming it was a good price), and the volume.
