Mr ZAHRA (5:25 PM) —Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.

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

Mr ZAHRA —Yes.

Mr SPEAKER —Please proceed.

Mr ZAHRA —The Minister for Forestry and Conservation, making reference to a question that I had asked the Deputy Prime Minister two days ago—

Mr SPEAKER —The Minister for Forestry and Conservation!

Mr ZAHRA —regarding the structural adjustment package which had been provided to Wide Bay but not to the Latrobe Valley, said in question time:

Mr Tuckey —That is not what I said.

Mr ZAHRA —This is in Hansard.

Mr SPEAKER —The Minister for Forestry and Conservation! The member for McMillan has the call. I have not interrupted the member for McMillan. I do not need a gesture of exasperation on his part. I simply need him to respond to the issue of misrepresentation.

Mr ZAHRA —It is not a gesture of exasperation directed towards you, Mr Speaker.

Mr SPEAKER —Thank you.

Mr ZAHRA —The Latrobe Valley has unacceptably high unemployment.

Mr SPEAKER —The member for McMillan must indicate where he has been misrepresented.

Mr ZAHRA —And I am, Mr Speaker. The reason that I raised it in this House is that I care so much about the people who live in the Latrobe Valley.

Mr SPEAKER —The member for McMillan will resume his seat.

Opposition members interjecting—

Mr SPEAKER —I think it would suit my procedures very nicely to remind members of the standing orders in a tangible way. The term `members' is not exclusive.
