Harry Jenkins Speaker
Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?
Dennis Jensen Tangney, Liberal Party
Yes, most egregiously—twice by the Prime Minister.

During question time the Prime Minister quoted from an interview I gave this morning. I have here the transcript of that interview, which demonstrates that I did not endorse the mining super tax proposed by the Rudd government. I criticised the entry level and endorsed the prior rights of state governments to continue to raise their mining royalties, which is not a profit related regime. I also criticised the government’s complete bungling on the whole introduction of this tax. I stated that the philosophy of it was wrong.
Harry Jenkins Speaker
Order! The honourable member will resume his seat. He has gone to where he alleges he was misrepresented. He cannot argue a case.
