Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.
Harry Jenkins Speaker
Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?
Tony Abbott Warringah, Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition
Yes, most grievously by a very un-prime-ministerial Prime Minister in question time today.

In response to misrepresentations by the Prime Minister I simply refer him to page 179 of budget paper No. 2 of 2003-2004:
The funding for 2003-04 to 2007-08 represents an increase of $10 billion over the last agreements.
I seek leave to table this truth-telling budget paper.
Leave not granted.

Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Education, Apprenticeships and Training
I do.
Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Education, Apprenticeships and Training
In question time today the Minister for Education claimed that the opposition opposed the My School website. In an interview with Fran Kelly on 3 February 2010, in fact, I said;
… on its own, the My Schools website is a good idea, but it needs more.
I seek leave to table the transcript.
Leave not granted.
