With respect to the Minister for Home Affairs, there have been three different issues of misrepresentation. On one of those issues, which related to the question asked by the member for Melbourne, the comments I made in the House this morning were based on a transcript that had errors in it. I take full responsibility for it. I stand by the other parts but, for that part of it, I apologise to the Minister for Home Affairs.
