27th Oct 2014, 3:16 PM – Representatives Attempted Censure — Minister for Agriculture
Summary
EditTony Burke sought to move a motion of censure against Barnaby Joyce (the Minister for Agriculture).
I move:
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would allow the member for Watson to move the following resolution forthwith:
That this House censures the Minister for Agriculture for:
(1) the misleading the House on Monday 20 October; and
(2) attempting to improperly alter the official Hansard record in order to cover up this misleading of the House.
You can read more about this incident in the SMH article Barnaby Joyce has Hansard changed back after being caught out over correction and read the official correction policy for Hansard released in a Freedom of Information request.
