The member for North Sydney asked the Acting Prime Minister a question allegedly quoting from a speech I made in the House. But he selectively quoted me, and what he omitted in the same sentence was:

… so that the people in their electorates can look them in the eye and say, ‘Your actions in blocking government money have led to the loss of infrastructure in our electorates.’

I did not say that this would be a great way to handle the distribution of taxpayers’ money and I also pointed out that this was against government policy.
