Personal Explanations
Misrepresentation
Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Leader of the Opposition) (15:19): Mr Speaker, I wish to make a personal explanation.
The SPEAKER: Does the Leader of the Opposition claim to have been misrepresented?
Mr ALBANESE: I do, by the minister just then.
The SPEAKER: Please proceed.
Mr ALBANESE: I sought leave to table the letter from the minister from which he just read. It was denied by the government; it was the government which didn't want that information. But the information also went on to say that the practice could recruit doctors from the international medical graduates. The fact is that they can't at the moment.
The SPEAKER: And the Leader of the Opposition indicated to me earlier that he wished to seek the call?
