Today in question time the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency made the assertion that a question I asked yesterday during question time had a statement of untruth in it. I draw the House's attention to an article in yesterday's Daily Telegraph, by the journalist Bruce McDougall, which confirms that the price increase from Ingleburn High School is $447.28 and quotes a teacher from that high school.

The member for Hughes must demonstrate where he has been misrepresented. The Leader of the House will resume his seat. The member for Hughes has finished his statement. The Deputy Leader of the Opposition.

The member for Solomon had better stop interjecting.
