Personal Explanation regarding Baulkham Hills North Public School

Mr HAWKE (Mitchell) (4.00 pm)—Mr Speaker, I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

The SPEAKER—Does the member claim to have been misrepresented?

Mr HAWKE—I do, Mr Speaker.

The SPEAKER—Please proceed.

Mr HAWKE—During question time, the Minister for Social Inclusion, not being very socially inclusive, sought to suggest that I made false claims about the Baulkham Hills North Public School in relation to Building the Education Revolution funding. I did no such thing and, indeed, I quote the words of the Baulkham Hills North Public School P&C president who said that, in accepting the funding for a much needed hall, ‘strongly rejected being bullied into accepting a design that will never meet the needs of the school and is a waste of taxpayers money’.

The SPEAKER—Order! The member will resume his seat.

Mr HAWKE—I seek leave to table the email from the Baulkham Hills North Public School P&C president.

Leave not granted.
