During debate on 5 June 2013 the Attorney-General said:

The member for Mitchell also made the claim during debate that the government has committed $21.6 million to a campaign to support the yes vote at the referendum. This is simply not true. What the government has committed to—and this is set out in the budget papers—is $10 million to fund a neutral, non-partisan civics education campaign.

What I said was absolutely true, and today the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport released a press release where he announced $10 million for the yes case, not for a non-partisan civics campaign, as the Attorney-General said. So, when I made my remarks to the House, I fully and accurately represented the situation in relation to the government's commitment.
