My Deputy Speaker, by leave, I wish to make a personal explanation.
Bruce Scott Deputy-Speaker
Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?
Jenny Macklin Jagajaga, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Families and Payments
Yes.

I have been misrepresented by the Minister for Health in the debate that has just concluded, and also by the member for Barton, who both wrongly said that I advised the Hawke government to introduce a co-payment. As correctly reported in The Australian today, I opposed the co-payment in 1991 and I oppose it today. The Minister for Health and the member for Barton should tell the truth.
