Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.
Tony Smith Speaker
Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition
I do.

In an article in the Daily Mail and in a number of other articles reporting on that article, it's been suggested that I supported watering down Labor's commitment to LGBTIQ rights. As someone who in the first speech in parliament mentioned removing discrimination on the basis of sexuality and is a strong advocate for the rights of gay and lesbian people, that is not true; it did not happen.
