John Faulkner (NSW, Australian Labor Party, Vice-President of the Executive Council) Share this | Hansard source

I seek leave to make a personal explanation as I claim to have been misrepresented.

Leave granted.

I have had the opportunity to view a Twitter blog, which purports to be my own personal Twitter blog. The address for this site is: http://twitter.com/senjohnfaulkner. The description on the twitter blog states that the owner’s name is John Faulkner. The biographical description states, ‘A senator for New South Wales with accountable representation since 1989, Minister for Defence, Vice President of the Executive Council.’

For the purposes of the record, I wish to state that I do not have a Twitter account. I can also confirm for the Senate for those who might be interested that I do not have a personal Facebook account either.
