Mr BRERETON (4:16 PM) —Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.


Mr SPEAKER —Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?


Mr BRERETON —Yes.


Mr SPEAKER —The member for Kingsford-Smith may proceed.


Mr BRERETON —Today in question time the Minister for Foreign Affairs referred to yesterday's Meet the Press program on Channel 10 and, in doing so, grossly misrepresented my approach to the anarchists who have threatened to disrupt the forthcoming CHOGM conference in Brisbane. In appearing on that program, I was in fact highly critical of these people and their tactics, and I made particular reference to the reported threat to Prime Minister Howard. I seek leave of the House to table the Rehame transcript of my interview.


Mr SPEAKER —Is leave granted for the tabling of the transcript?

Opposition members interjecting—


Mr SPEAKER —I remind those on my left that I have a requirement to ask the minister at the table, the Minister for Community Services, whether or not leave is granted for the tabling of the transcript.

Leave not granted.
