Mr BURKE (Watson—Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Minister for the Arts and Leader of the House) (15:29): I seek to make a personal explanation. The SPEAKER: Do you claim to have been misrepresented? Mr BURKE: I have been, and it's an odd one. The SPEAKER: You may proceed. Mr BURKE: On the Notice Paper today the Manager of Opposition Business has described the National Cultural Policy, which I personally announced, as 'only relatively modest new funding for the arts of around $60 billion a year over four years'. I regret to inform the House that I have not been able to secure $60 billion a year over the next four years. I can now understand how the Leppington Triangle happened. While I certainly hope to keep the position of Minister for the Arts, I'd be really happy to have him on the ERC.
