Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.

Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?

Libby Coker (Corangamite, Australian Labor Party) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

Yes, I do.

The resources minister, earlier in question time, referred to a letter I had written to him, which is correct. But it was about my community and representing them in their concerns about drilling for oil and gas right next to the Twelve Apostles on the Great Ocean Road. It was quite different to the way he referred to it. I seek leave to table the letter.

Leave not granted.

For those making personal explanations, I will just say that the way that personal explanation was made was succinct and direct, in that you went to the fact where you claimed to have been misrepresented, you stated it and you did not debate the matter. I dish out a bit of criticism, but where someone's done something by the book I will say that. But I will still eject you under 94(a) if you interject.
