The member for Throsby made a number of incorrect statements in relation to a forum that was conducted at Launceston College on 21 August. He said that there were university students at this forum. That is incorrect—they were year 11 and 12 students. He said that there was 'heat' from the floor of the forum. That is not correct—it was a very civil forum with questions from the floor and panellists responding. He has also obviously missed my comments in the media where I have been advocating for a better deal for my constituents with the education minister. The matter he is referring to has been reported in newspapers in my electorate, so I am not sure what he is talking about with there being a line here or whatever he said there. The fact is that he has been caught out misrepresenting me.
