Personal Explanation
Statements
Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Leader of the Opposition) (15:27): Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.
The SPEAKER: Does the member claim to have been misrepresented?
Mr ALBANESE: I do.
The SPEAKER: You may proceed.
Mr ALBANESE: Today in question time the member for Tangney and Special Minister of State said that he contacted my chief of staff about statements I had made on the consultation of Australian of the Year Grace Tame about the national child sex abuse prevention strategy. The Special Minister of State questioned the accuracy of my comments. I stand by my statement. I believe Ms Grace Tame and pay tribute to her bravery as a survivor and advocate for those who have suffered child sexual abuse.
