Mr Deputy Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.
Ewen Jones Herbert, Liberal Party
Does the member claim to have been misrepresented?
Joel Fitzgibbon Hunter, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Agriculture
I do indeed.

Immediately after question time, the Minister for Agriculture himself sought to make a personal explanation. In doing so, he suggested that I had misled him this morning over the matter of the doctoring of his Hansard. He has also asked me to retract, which I will not be doing. The minister tabled a document which raises more questions than it answers. I still challenge the minister to provide evidence that he was not involved in the doctoring of his Hansard.

The member should be getting to the point where he has been misrepresented.

I seek leave to table documents that go to the minister's interference in the process of my FOI application.
Leave granted.
