During question time today, the Prime Minister stated that I had misquoted an article from the Newcastle Herald. In fact, he then read out a headline from an article that he thought I had read from. That is not correct. The article that I have here is from the Newcastle Herald. It is dated 3 May, it is by Ian Kirkwood and the headline is, as I said, ‘40% tax on coal profits has Hunter coal companies up in arms over “blatant tax grab”‘. I seek leave to table that document to correct the record.

Leave not granted.
