Ms JULIE BISHOP (4:02 PM) —Mr Speaker, I seek leave to make a personal explanation.


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


Ms JULIE BISHOP —Yes, I do.


The SPEAKER —Please proceed.


Ms JULIE BISHOP —In the House today on the censure motion, the Deputy Prime Minister said:

We had the Deputy Leader of the Opposition in here talking about administrative fees in the Northern Territory. We held that up to the light and it was just not true.

In my question on 8 September 2009, to which the Deputy Prime Minister refers, I said:

I refer the minister to the Northern Territory government’s internal advice that nearly 13 per cent of the schools stimulus package funding will be soaked up in project management fees …

I seek leave to table the internal advice of the Northern Territory government which states that the stimulus package funding project management fees will be 12.94 per cent.

Leave not granted.
