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 —I was also misrepresented by the Minister for Health and Ageing. He had a rather bad first day. The Minister for Health and Ageing accurately quoted me but misrepresented and misinterpreted my remarks that many more people would complain about the cuts we were making. He interpreted me as saying that I was calling for the abolition of the private health insurance rebate. That is the exact opposite of what I said on that occasion. I said that it would not be abolished; it was being reviewed. That remains my position. He totally misrepresented my position, as he did that of all the members who spoke—the member for Jagajaga and others.
