3:10 pm
Madam Deputy Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.
Ms Anna Burke Deputy-Speaker
Does the member for Cook claim to have been misrepresented?
Scott Morrison Cook, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship
I do.
Scott Morrison Cook, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship
Thank you. In question time today the minister for immigration said that I had provided a copy of the letter that I sent to him seeking information on the minister's actions to deny a visa to Mr Taji Mustafa, and he indicated that I had provided that to the press. That is totally untrue and he should withdraw the accusation.

Does the Manager of Opposition Business claim to have been misrepresented?
Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Education, Apprenticeships and Training
I do.
Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Education, Apprenticeships and Training
In question time today the minister for schools attempted to pretend that I had said that I supported the Howard flawed AGSRC model. In fact the AGSRC model was introduced by the previous Labor government, by Mr Beazley, the then minister for employment, education and training.
Ms Anna Burke Deputy-Speaker
The Manager of Opposition Business must demonstrate where he has been misrepresented.
Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Education, Apprenticeships and Training
I would recommend that the minister read the Hansard. I seek leave to table the Hansard of 4 November 1992 which clearly shows that it was a Beazley government, a Beazley ministry, implementation of the AGSRC.
Ms Anna Burke Deputy-Speaker
The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat.
Mr Pyne interjecting—
Order! The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat. The Manager of Opposition Business is now defying the chair. Is leave granted to table the document?
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the House
Is leave granted to table Hansard in Hansard? Is that what I am being asked? Hansard is already in Hansard.
Ms Anna Burke Deputy-Speaker
The Leader of the House will resume his seat. The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat. The member for Hume has the call.
