Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.

Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Mackellar, Liberal Party) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

I do indeed.

Yesterday the Manager of Opposition Business implied that I was a security threat. This is totally incorrect. I am no more a security threat than the Leader of the Opposition, who, on Monday, failed to go through any security provisions at all. Whilst I am convinced he is no security threat, I think this is a cheap way for the Manager of the Opposition Business to attack her leader.

Order! The member for Mackellar will resume her seat.
