Personal Explanations — Unparliamentary Language—Apology
📅 Recorded under the Tuesday, 5 March 2024 session -
Hansard's own transcript for this session runs through to
Wednesday, 6 March 2024, so this debate may
really have happened on a later date within that range rather than on
5 March itself - we can't tell which
exact date from Hansard's own record of it.

Point of order, Mr Speaker. I seek leave to make a personal explanation.
💬 SPEAKER: Leave is sought. Is there any objection for that purpose? There appears to be none.
Last Thursday, in debate, towards the end of the day, I made an unparliamentary remark, which I know some members took offence at. I’d like to apologise unreservedly for this; I did not mean to cause offence.
💬 SPEAKER: Thank you.
