Madam Speaker, I seek to make a personal explanation.
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop Speaker
Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?
Bill Shorten Maribyrnong, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition
Most definitely so.
Bill Shorten Maribyrnong, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition
Thank you, Madam Speaker. Today during question time, the Prime Minister asserted that I had said: 'The last thing Australia should ever have is a Japanese submarine.'
Madam Speaker, I said no such thing. Labor supports the highly skilled submarine workforce in Adelaide at the Australian Submarine Corporation.
