I wish to make a personal explanation.

Ms Anna Burke

Ms Anna Burke Speaker

Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?

Kelly O'Dwyer

Kelly O'Dwyer Higgins, Liberal Party

I claim to have been misrepresented. The member for Sydney, the minister for health, claimed in the chamber just before question time today that I was a liar when I said that the minister was cutting more than $6 billion from the health budget. This is not true. The minister is not only cutting $6 billion from the health budget—

Ms Anna Burke Speaker

The member will resume her seat.
