MR BARR: Madam Speaker, in 2010, I—

MADAM SPEAKER: No. Sorry, Mr Barr; you do not have the call. You cannot just stand up and talk.

MR BARR: I am seeking the call, Madam Speaker, in response.

MADAM SPEAKER: No, you cannot make a response.

MR BARR: I can add to questions from question time.

MADAM SPEAKER: No; I am sorry.

Mr Hanson: It is a personal explanation.

MADAM SPEAKER: A personal explanation is not a debate; it is a personal explanation.

MR BARR: I can seek to make a personal explanation then, Madam Speaker.

MADAM SPEAKER: You have to claim to be misrepresented.

MR BARR: I have just been misrepresented by Mr Smyth, Madam Speaker.

MADAM SPEAKER: You claim to be misrepresented.

MR BARR: I have.

MADAM SPEAKER: You have leave.

MR BARR: I will be clear, Madam Speaker. The commonwealth government indicated in 2010 that its $185.5 million funding for NICTA would allow it operate until 2015.

Mr Coe: Point of order.

MADAM SPEAKER: No. Mr Rattenbury has the call.
