On Monday during question time, the Treasurer, whilst answering a question from the member for Macquarie, said in response to an interjection from me:

The member for Swan interjects—one of the voices of Brian Burke in this parliament.

I understand that this statement was broadcast in the electronic media in Perth that evening and appeared in yesterday’s editions of the Australian and West Australian newspapers. I have never had a conversation with Brian Burke, either in person or via the telephone, let alone acted as his voice in this parliament. The Treasurer’s statement is completely false.
