Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (12:17:36):

During question time I made a comment towards a new MP. It was a poor attempt at humour and was not intended to cause any offence. I withdraw the comment once again and apologise to the member in question. As a former Minister for Multiculturalism, I celebrate the diversity in our society. It is our greatest asset. The comment I made was not intended or considered to focus on an individual's background. I again withdraw the comment and again apologise to the member of Parliament.
