Yesterday, the member for Warringah issued a social media post claiming that I had 'only moved amendments to four pieces of leg'. The facts are, in the 47th parliament: I've moved five second reading amendments, and the member for Warringah has moved one; I've moved 10 consideration in detail amendments, and the member for Warringah has moved 11; I've moved 16 motions to suspend standing orders, and the member for Warringah has moved two; I've asked 46 questions during question time, and the member for Warringah has asked 24. I trust that clarifies the matter.
