Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

I stand by the fact that we're providing $1 billion for critical technologies. I stand by the fact that $1 billion will be provided for advanced manufacturing and $500 million will be provided for value-adding in agriculture, forestry, fisheries, food and fibre. I stand by all of that. And I stand by my comment that those opposite voted against every one of those funds. Unfortunately for the member for Gippsland, who I have respect for—he's been here a long time—there's this thing called Hansard and it records what you say. So if you're going to come to the dispatch box and make an allegation that there's been some misleading of parliament, which he did in a question, you don't get to put your own words into my mouth. What you get to do is ask a question and I get to answer it. I answered it very clearly. I answered it completely accurately. If the member doesn't understand that there's a link for all the workers throughout the timber industry then I can't help him. He's beyond help.

But the fact is they came here. This is their gotcha moment. This is their big gotcha. The fact is they once again have failed. If he thinks there's been some misleading of parliament, there are appropriate methods for the member to operate— (Time expired)
