Ms Anna Burke (Chisholm, Deputy-Speaker) Share this | Hansard source

Member for Indi, I am in an untenable situation; I did not hear the comment. I think the Hansard officer present has put it on the record because you asked her to place on the record what you heard. I am not in a position to ask the Hansard officer to tell me what she did or did not hear, but I do recall you asking the Hansard officer to take something down. The only thing I can do at this juncture is seek some advice from the clerks at a later date, and I will come back to it. But, as I did not hear it, I cannot ask the member to withdraw.
