Mr Speaker, I seek your indulgence to make a statement. Yesterday in the Main Committee there was a robust debate and very many robust interjections with both the member for Indi and me.

Honourable Members:

Thank you for your assistance. The member much later in the debate interrupted another speaker and asked for some comments I had made to be withdrawn and I did not do so. I have had time to reflect on the incident and, though the comments were not completely accurate, I do unreservedly withdraw any remarks that may have caused offence to the member.
