Mr Speaker, I seek your permission to make a personal explanation.

Does the member for Fenner claim to have been misrepresented?

I do, most grievously. In an answer to an earlier question, the Minister for Revenue and Financial Services said that I had voted against the government's multinational tax law. This is not correct. Neither I nor any of my House of Representatives colleagues voted against the government's multinational tax law. Given the events of the last 24 hours, I am surprised the minister did not check the Hansard.

The member for Fenner will resume his seat.
