Senator COLBECK (Tasmania—Minister for Aged Care and Senior Australians and Minister for Youth and Sport) (14:04): The opposition continue to misstate my comments and twist and use them in a way that I did not utter them. Quite frankly, the practice is dishonest. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, on a point of order? Senator Wong: I'd ask the minister to withdraw 'dishonest'. Those are direct quotes. The PRESIDENT: Senator Cormann, on the point of order? Senator Cormann: On a point of order, the minister is absolutely right in that the way his statements are taken out of context is dishonest. The PRESIDENT: That term is not unparliamentary. It's not appropriate for the chair nor is it appropriate for me to begin ruling on matters of interpretation such as that. It is not unparliamentary language, so I won't be asking the minister to withdraw. Senator COLBECK: The Labor Party this week have consistently taken my comments out of context in a deliberate attempt to portray what I said in a different way. As I said earlier, I was very deliberate with my comments this morning. Our circumstances in an international context are so much better than those overseas. That doesn't mean that the circumstances here aren't difficult, that the circumstances here aren't tragic or that the deaths that have been suffered are anything but tragic. It doesn't mean any of those things. But I am not going to— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Colbeck.
