Yes.

In question time the Minister for Housing and Minister for the Status of Women implied that members of the former government trivialised domestic violence. This is utterly untrue. It is an outrageous slur.

Harry Jenkins Speaker

Order! The member must show where he has been misrepresented. The member for Sturt will resume his seat.
