Personal Explanation

Wednesday, 15 February 2023 House of Representatives

Mr Tony Burke

Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations

3:14 pm

The notice that I referred to as having misrepresented me yesterday has today reappeared not in the name of the Manager of Opposition Business but in the name of the member for Flinders. The misrepresentation I referred to yesterday has been corrected and a new one has been added. It says that the arts funding which I personally announced is lower than the record funding of the previous government of $1 million. While yesterday's figure where it stated that I had delivered $60 billion a year was untrue, I can assure the House that the record is larger than what they claim as their record $1 million.
