On Wednesday, 18 November 2009, the member for Flinders, the Hon. Greg Hunt, issued a media release titled ‘Rudd must repudiate offensive attack on school chaplains’. The honourable gentleman has selectively quoted from my speech of 19 October 2009 in the Main Committee on the subject of school chaplains to support his attack upon me. I understand the honourable member may be overly sensitive to criticism of a program with which he was involved, but he must realise that there are many who do not always subscribe to his point of view. I find his vitriol offensive and would point out that selective quoting makes for inaccurate argument.
