Mr Deputy Speaker, as it is my obligation to do so at the first opportunity, I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. The member for Lyons, throughout his contribution, accused me of being critical of the live export trade in my contribution.

An honourable member: Not much!

I was never critical of the sector. Therefore, that is patently untrue and he should reflect on his comments.

Debate adjourned.
