Mr ALBANESE(4.26 p.m.) —Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.

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

Mr ALBANESE —Yes.

Mr SPEAKER —Please proceed.

Mr ALBANESE —On a similar note to the member for Barton (Mr McClelland), in a press release issued on the letterhead of the Sydney Airport Community Forum, the member for North Sydney (Mr Hockey) claims to have the support of all the members of that forum for the long-term operating plan. That is not the case. In fact, we are concerned about the number of flights taking off to the north in order to protect the interests of the member for Bennelong (Mr Howard).

Mr SPEAKER —We will not debate the issue. You have shown where you have been misrepresented.
