Madam Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.

Does the member claim to have been misrepresented?

Yes, I have been. Today in question time the Leader of the House falsely claimed that I was standing in the way of the Abbott royal commission into unions. The Leader of the House is wrong. I publicly committed to cooperating with the royal commission, including on Tuesday when I said that Labor will cooperate with the royal commission.
