Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.
David Hawker Speaker
Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?
Nicola Roxon Gellibrand, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Attorney-General
Yes, with tedious repetition, unfortunately, by the Attorney-General.
Nicola Roxon Gellibrand, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Attorney-General
The Attorney-General has indicated twice now in this House that we—I—have referred to family relationship centres as ‘sausage factories’. Labor in fact supports the family relationship centres, as the Attorney knows. I will table the press release that he is using, which is titled ‘Family Relationship Centres are not sausage factories’, and we are urging that the Attorney-General not administer them as if they were.
Leave granted.
