I seek leave to make a further personal explanation.
Mr SPEAKER
Hon Annette KingLeave is sought to make a personal explanation in relation to the matter of Twitter. Is there any objection? There is none.
Hon DAVID CUNLIFFE Link to this
In my earlier personal explanation I noted that I have never been on the website Twitter and have never sent a tweet. I can further advise the House that there are a number of bogus Twitter accounts in use, and in respect of my own, notification was provided to Twitter on 29 March—Monday morning, our time—that this was a bogus account. So it would appear that not only has the Prime Minister incorrectly used this material—
The member cannot use a personal explanation to comment on another member. It is only about his matters, and I thank him for that.
Hon DAVID CUNLIFFE: I seek leave to table a copy of the notification that was sent by our communications staff to the Twitter website notifying it that the comments were bogus.
