Madam Deputy Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.
Ms Anna Burke Deputy-Speaker
Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?
Andrew Southcott Boothby, Liberal Party, Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Primary Healthcare
Yes.
Andrew Southcott Boothby, Liberal Party, Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Primary Healthcare
On three occasions, the Leader of the House has made an assertion that last week, in tabling the electricity bills from the Belair Hotel, I tabled something other than that which I said I would. I was very clear. I sought leave to table the electricity accounts of January 2012 and July 2012 of the Belair Hotel, and that is exactly what I tabled. Hansard will confirm that and the Table Office will confirm that. The assertion by the Leader of the House is quite simply false.
Mr Albanese interjecting—
I am just responding—
Ms Anna Burke Deputy-Speaker
No. The member for Boothby cannot respond to interjections. The Leader of the House is not assisting the chair.
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the House
I am trying to help, Madam Deputy Speaker, as always!
