Mr McMULLAN (3:33 PM) —Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.


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


Mr McMULLAN —Yes.


The SPEAKER —Please proceed.


Mr McMULLAN —The Treasurer in an answer today asserted that the document which I tabled was misleading. He asserted that it said that the tax take in the year in which the Treasurer was elected was less than the tax take now. The document which I tabled said no such thing. That is quite untrue. The rate in 1995-96 was 16.4 per cent; this year it is 17 per cent.
