Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.

Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?

Yes, with tedious repetition, unfortunately, by the Attorney-General.

The honourable member for Gellibrand may proceed.

The Attorney-General has indicated twice now in this House that we—I—have referred to family relationship centres as ‘sausage factories’. Labor in fact supports the family relationship centres, as the Attorney knows. I will table the press release that he is using, which is titled ‘Family Relationship Centres are not sausage factories’, and we are urging that the Attorney-General not administer them as if they were.

Leave granted.
