Yesterday in the House the member for Whitlam—whom I cannot locate at this moment—spoke about job losses in HMAS Albatross and said that he had reliable documentation to refute my statement that what he was saying was completely untrue. I have confidential material directly from the base that refutes exactly what the member for Whitlam said, and he should apologise publicly.
