The point I made earlier in the day to you, as Manager of Opposition Business, and to the deputy leader, who is acting leader, was that her comment was not a proper explanation of where she had been misrepresented. To the contrary, what the member for Macquarie was pointing out was: where a statement had been made, where it had been placed and why it was wrong. Clearly, that is the point of having an opportunity for a personal explanation where you claim to have been misrepresented. The member for Sydney, the Acting Leader of the Opposition, should have followed the same form in her explanation as the member for Grayndler, which is always done, absolutely properly, by that member.
