During question time the Minister for Regional Australia, Regional Development and Local Government made comments which I found offensive regarding a forum with the Peel RDA which was held in my electorate. First of all, his comments were not successful. When he accused me of trying to wreck his meeting, I only asked him questions which he struggled to answer. The questions included proper funding for the Peel RDA.

The member for Canning has indicated where he claims to have been misrepresented and that is now dealt with.
