Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?

During Question Time the Minister for the Environment made a number of comments about my speech in budget reply, where I announced Labor's working families childcare boost. The minister characterised that policy wrongly on each occasion, and, in addition, said at one stage that we didn't have a policy. Our policy is very clear: it's to remove the cap, increase the subsidy to 90 per cent, and it tapers off to $530,000.
