I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Ms Anna Burke

Ms Anna Burke Deputy-Speaker

Does the member for Boothby claim to have been misrepresented?

Yes, I do. In question time today the Treasurer said that I had come into the House and made a whole set of representations and claims about the Belair Hotel and every one of them was simply wrong. What I said was that the Belair Hotel had seen a 45 per cent increase in the off-peak power rate, and that was correct. I invite the Treasurer to point out where I was wrong.
