Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.
Tony Smith Speaker
Does the member for Jagajaga claim to have been misrepresented?
Jenny Macklin Jagajaga, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Families and Payments
I do, Mr Speaker.
Jenny Macklin Jagajaga, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Families and Payments
I claim to have been misrepresented in the parliament yesterday by the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister, the Minister for Social Services, the Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, the member for Ryan and the member for Solomon, who all wrongly accused me of using the term 'rounding error'. I make it very clear to the House that this is completely false. I never said any such thing. They all made it up and they should all come in here and apologise to the House for misleading this parliament.
Tony Smith Speaker
The member for Jagajaga will resume her seat. She has made her personal explanation.

Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.
Tony Smith Speaker
Does the member for McMahon claim to have been misrepresented?
Chris Bowen McMahon, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Treasurer
I certainly do, Mr Speaker.
Chris Bowen McMahon, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Treasurer
Yesterday the following government members claimed that I used the term 'rounding error': the Treasurer, the member for Mitchell and Senator Scott Ryan. That is a complete fabrication. I said nothing even vaguely like that. Those members should withdraw.
