Fact check latest: When Mark Parton asserted that the voters of Tuggeranong would not be talking about him allegedly texting a sex worker during a sitting of the ACT Legislative Assembly, he was partly right - but not in a helpful way for him.

Mark Who? was the more common response when The Canberra Times tested his assertion. He will be disappointed to learn that they had never heard of him in the Prosecco and Nail Lounge in The Point shopping centre. He might want to text them to introduce himself.

But elsewhere, they had heard of him. Oh, yes.
