Ms KERNOT (4:45 PM) —Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.

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

Ms KERNOT —Yes.

Mr SPEAKER —Please proceed.

Ms KERNOT —I wish to complete the incomplete quotation that the minister for employment attributed to me.

Mr SPEAKER —No. The member for Dickson must indicate where she was misrepresented in order for me to understand whether she has a matter of misrepresentation that she can correct.

Ms KERNOT —I have two matters. One is on what I said on the Meet the Press program.

Mr SPEAKER —I am in no way seeking to frustrate the member for Dickson. I am seeking to indicate to her that she must indicate where she was misrepresented.

Ms KERNOT —I am trying to do that, Mr Speaker. Obviously I misunderstand you. The minister incompletely quoted from a transcript of the program, which leads to the wrong conclusion in the point he was making. It does not support the conclusion.

Government members interjecting—

Opposition members interjecting—

Mr SPEAKER —I do not need the amount of assistance I am getting from both sides of the House. I am endeavouring to assist the member for Dickson. I suggest to the member for Dickson that if she cares to consult with the Leader of the Opposition or the Deputy Leader of the Opposition I will recognise her in a few minutes.
