I've got another one! Mr Speaker, in compliance with the standing orders of the House, I wish to give a personal explanation. It goes to a point of order that I made earlier.

Does the Leader of the Opposition claim to have been misrepresented?

I do, Mr Speaker, by the Treasurer—repeatedly. As bizarre as it is that he quotes something that is more than 30 years old and occurred more than nine Prime Ministers ago, he could at least do it accurately. In some of the quotes that he has used, he has used comments, allegedly made by me at some conference more than three decades ago, where the quotes themselves say that I was quoting someone else at the time. At least the Treasurer could get it right, as absurd as this whole kindy exercise is.
