Personal explanation
MS BURCH (Brindabella—Minister for Community Services, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Women and Minister for Gaming and Racing): I seek leave to make a statement under standing order 46 in relation to a matter where I have been misrepresented.
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Mrs Dunne): You claim to be personally misrepresented?
MS BURCH: Yes, Madam Assistant Speaker.
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: Yes, Ms Burch.
MS BURCH: Yesterday in the debate on the Holder site for children’s services, Mrs Dunne said:
In 2010 when this proposal—
that was a reference to Flynn School—
was first put forward, I specifically asked the minister whether this was part of their 2008 commitment, and she told me it was not.

MRS DUNNE: Minister, is the $4 million allocation to the childcare centre at Flynn in addition to the 2008 election promise or instead of the ACT Labor Party’s 2008 election promise?

I invite Mrs Dunne to correct the record.
