Mr FITZGIBBON (HunterChief Government Whip) (15:12): Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.

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

Mr FITZGIBBON: Yes.

The SPEAKER: Please proceed.

Mr FITZGIBBON: On Saturday the Sydney Morning Herald published an article authored by Major General John Cantwell. I reject and regret the claims made by the retired Army officer. They entirely misrepresent my time as defence minister.
