Ian Macdonald (Queensland, Liberal Party) Share this | Hansard source

Under standing order 191, I wish to explain a speech or an interjection that Senator Di Natale took up. He has obviously either deliberately misquoted me or misunderstood my interjection. My interjection was not about defending payments by Chinese to the Liberal Party. I do not know that they have ever happened. My interjection was asking Senator Di Natale if he got permission from Senator Dastyari to say what he said and if Senator Dastyari actually helped him write his speech. That was my interjection, so he misunderstood what I said.
