Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?

Today in question time I asked a question of the Prime Minister regarding native title compensation. The Prime Minister stated that she had not heard from the Premier of Western Australia on this issue and for the record I would like say that the Prime Minister received a letter from the premier on 14 April 2011, which she subsequently replied to on 29 May.

The member for O'Connor will resume his seat. In a personal explanation he has to show where he personally has been misrepresented, but he has made his point.
