The meeting was to be with me (Mark), Matt (the prime minister's press secretary) and someone named Gemma.

This was extra confusing because the invite was sent to my PERSONAL email address.

My personal account is not really well known to the public (as opposed to my work email which is mark.distefano@buzzfeed.com) and it definitely shouldn't be in the prime minister's email system.

Also, since when was the PM's office organising private, strategy meetings with journalists? Was I about to get a briefing on something minister Pyne was going to announce on Tuesday? Was it about the timing of the election?
