Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.

Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?

Yes, sir.

The member for O’Connor may proceed.

During question time, the Minister for Finance and Deregulation implied that I had had some disagreement with the Leader of the Opposition relating to the member for Kalgoorlie. Mr Speaker, I simply informed the leader of the battle the member for Kalgoorlie had had in rebutting the campaign of his then Labor opponent who was campaigning to bring Gorgon gas to the mainland instead of Barrow Island which is necessary for the project’s success.

Order! The member has indicated where he has been misrepresented. The member for O’Connor will resume his seat.
