Mr Deputy Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.
Bruce Scott Deputy-Speaker
Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?

This morning I articulated the long-understood Treasury modelling around the $550 a year average saving for Australian families following the removal of the carbon tax. I have been misrepresented by our hallowed national broadcaster, who claimed that I contradicted colleagues. I made the obvious point that non-carbon expenses will continue to increase, but overall it is clear and unequivocal that savings of $550 on average per family will be achieved with the removal of the tax—any suggestion otherwise is mischievous.
