Amended Answers to Oral Questions — Question No. 7 to Minister

Point of order, Mr Speaker. Thank you, Mr Speaker. I seek leave to correct an answer in oral question time today.

💬 SPEAKER: I think you can just do that.

Thank you. So in question No. 7 today—

💬 SPEAKER: No, sorry—just a minute. OK, you need to seek leave to make a personal explanation to correct it. I thought you were able to correct answers, but, however. Leave is sought. Is there any objection to that course of action? There appears to be none.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I wish to correct the answer to question No. 7 today. I referred to a nearly 90,000 increase on the number on jobseeker benefit. That is the increase in the number of people on main benefit. The number on the jobseeker increase is 66,753.

💬 SPEAKER: Thank you.
