Does the honourable member claim to have been misrepresented?

Most grievously.

During the very excited part of the answer from the member for McMahon, he managed to find the wrong bill. The actual bill that he needs is this one I am holding, not the one he's got. He's actually got a draft in his MI5 investigation. There is no carbon credits act 2011 repeal. There is no renewables acts 2000 repeal.

No, you've just got the wrong one, clown.

So I move to table the actual bill—or, alternatively, I can take him by the hand down to the tabling office and he can ask for one which is actually sitting down there for him to read.

The member can resume his seat. You do not need to use descriptors on any member of parliament in that way, and I made that clear; personal insults like that—you know, you are given the courtesy to explain where you work misrepresented. We're not having people saying those insults to one another, so I'm going to ask you to withdraw that statement.

I withdraw.
