House debates Questions without Notice

Drought

Monday, 27 October 2014 House of Representatives

Joel Fitzgibbon

Joel Fitzgibbon Hunter, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Agriculture

2:49 pm

My question is to the Minister for Agriculture. I refer him to the drought related answer he gave on Monday and corrected in the House late on Wednesday. I also refer him to Hansard, in which the final paragraph of his answer carries the qualifying statements: 'if you were also a recipient of the Interim Farm Household Allowance' and 'unless it was a new application'. Does the minister acknowledge he never used these words, and what role did he or his office play in doctoring the Hansard record?
