Personal Explanation

Termination of Pregnancy Bill

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (20:44): I rise to make a personal explanation.

The SPEAKER: The member for Reynell, if it is a personal explanation in accordance with standing order 108 then leave will be required. If it is a matter of the member believing to have been misquoted or misunderstood in the course of the debate, that is a matter for standing order 116.

Ms HILDYARD: Standing order 116.

The SPEAKER: The member for Reynell has the call.

Ms HILDYARD: Mr Speaker, I have realised that in my speech on this bill I unintentionally said that two women who experienced difficult pregnancies chose to have a termination. One of these women did not, and I wholeheartedly and sincerely apologise for my error and any distress whatsoever that my error caused.
