I seek leave to make a brief statement.
Barnaby Joyce New England, National Party, Shadow Minister for Veterans' Affairs
Most grievously.
Barnaby Joyce New England, National Party, Shadow Minister for Veterans' Affairs
During question time today, the Prime Minister gave an insinuation that was fully deceitful because it's only half the truth. The Prime Minister did not put forward a full quote, which has led to the House being misled as to what I actually said. In reference to the constitutional change proposed by the Prime Minister, I said:
It's not the same. It's vastly less, vastly less noxious, but the Civil Service Act of Germany in 1933 also delineated people's rights on the premise of their race …
I went on to say that it's a bad premise. This is not what the Prime Minister said. He tells half-truths to avoid the facts, and he is making a bad habit of it.
