Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.
Harry Jenkins Speaker
Does the minister claimed to have been misrepresented?
Kevin Rudd Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Foreign Affairs
I do.

In his first question in question time today the Leader of the Opposition said that at the National Press Club yesterday I had referred to the next election as a referendum on climate change. That is totally false and I would suggest he looks at the record. Secondly, the Manager of Opposition Business said in question time today that I had called for an election on the carbon price now. That also is totally false and the Manager of Opposition Business knows it. What I have said yesterday and repeatedly is that the Leader of the Opposition is a climate change denier and that is absolutely true.
