Madam Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.

Does the member claim to have been misrepresented?

I certainly do and by the Treasurer. Yesterday in question time the Treasurer said at the dispatch box that I was incorrect when I said that a government guarantee for Qantas debt did not require legislation. In fact, it is the Treasurer who is factually incorrect. I seek leave to table the advice to that effect.

Leave not granted.
