Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.
Ms Anna Burke Speaker
Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?

Yes, on numerous occasions in question time today.

I simply want to correct one particular most outrageous misrepresentation. The Minister for Health today claimed that I wanted to close down the Nepean after-hours service. In fact, I started the Nepean after-hour service, I opened it and I funded it, and its funding is not dependent upon divisions of general practice funding.
