Grievously.

In question time today I asked the Prime Minister a very simple question about guaranteeing jobs at Portland Aluminium in my electorate. I did not seek to put words into the mouth of the company or its executive, as she alluded to in the censure motion. I asked her quite simply to guarantee the 600 jobs in my electorate, and she would not do it.

Harry Jenkins Speaker

Order! The member has shown where he believes he has been misrepresented.
