Paul Fletcher: Yesterday, the member for Warringah issued a social media post claiming that I had, quote, "only moved amendments to four pieces of leg" close quotes.

The facts are in the 47th Parliament I've moved 5 second reading amendments, the member for Warringah has moved 1. 

I've moved 10 consideration in detail amendments, the member for Warringah has moved 11.

I've moved 16 motions to suspend standing orders the member for Warringah has moved 2.

 I've asked 46 questions during Question Time, the member for Warringah has asked 24.

 I trust that clarifies the matter.
