Chris Pearce (Aston, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Financial Services, Superannuation and Corporate Law) Share this | Hansard source

Mr Speaker, I have a question to you where I seek your help and advice. Earlier in the week I was making some remarks in the chamber and I gave a direct quote from the Prime Minister where, 12 days before the election, on 4BC radio he said that he would not change the superannuation laws ‘one jot or one tiddle’. In Hansard I saw that the word ‘tiddle’ had been replaced with the word ‘tittle’. I sought to advise Hansard that in fact the word that the Prime Minister had used was ‘tiddle’. Hansard have refused to correct that, being a direct quote of the Prime Minister. They have said that the word the Prime Minister used is not a correct word. Mr Speaker, I am sure our PM would not use an incorrect word. I would seek your help to change the Hansard so it reflects the direct quote, that the Prime Minister would not change the laws on superannuation ‘one jot or one tiddle’.
