I seek leave to take the same sort of liberty, very briefly, to show where I have been misrepresented in the same publication.

Leave granted.

Senator Fifield’s contribution reminds me that when I was looking through the 2007 Electoral Pocketbook I saw that there was someone called Ian ‘Dougalas’ Macdonald, who had led the Liberal Party ticket and who had been elected first in Queensland to the Senate. I would hope that the Electoral Commission was not making any reference to me by saying I am ‘Doug-alas!’ rather than Douglas.
