I seek leave to correct an error I made in my question on Monday.

Leave granted.

On Monday in question time, at 14.43, I said:

In the next few weeks, Brisbane's Lytton fuel refinery is scheduled to close for 10 days …

I should have said 10 'weeks'.

I seek leave to address a matter of personal explanation.

Leave granted.

In question time I stood to my feet to make a point of order on Minister Watt's misleading answer. He had suggested that I suggested that we, the coalition, were going to scrap the apprenticeship scheme that Labor has now provided. This is completely and utterly fabricated, and I'd like it put on the record that it is a fabrication and a misleading of the Senate and that the Channel 7 program that misled this view has in fact corrected the record. Therefore, I ask that the minister correct the record on this.
