It smacks of political spin.

It said Mr Gee has always voted on party lines never crossing the floor of parliament to vote against the government.
It said Mr Gee was also one of the most regular attendees to parliament with a 97 per cent attendance rate since he was elected.
However, Mr Gee said he believed the website was "false and misleading".
"It doesn't accurately explain what the votes were actually for. It smacks of political spin," he said.
Mr Gee said the "only true and accurate" recording of parliamentary proceedings was Hansard and people should access it to check his voting. "I back my record both in the Parliament and in the electorate," he said.
Other issues listed by the website included that Mr Gee had "very strongly" voted for the same sex marriage plebiscite.
On welfare issues it said Mr Gee has backed drug testing for welfare recipients, tightening means testing of family payments and increasing the Medicare levy to pay for the National Disability Scheme. It said he also opposed increasing funding for legal aid.
It also said Mr Gee supported making more water from the Murray-Darling Basin available to use and backed increasing the initial tax rate for working holiday makers up to 19 per cent.
However, it said Mr Gee had voted against increasing government support for the dairy industry.

The Shooters, Fishers and Farmers' Sam Romano is on the second line of betting at $3.35 with Labor's Jess Jennings rated only a $12 chance.
Then comes The Greens' Stephanie Luke ($41), the Christian Democrats' Shuyi Chen ($51) and United Australia Party's Beverley Cameron ($61), with Liberal Democrat Stephen Bisgrove the rank outsider at 100/1.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten's Labor Party is a short $1.14 favourite to form government, with the Coalition a $5.50 outsider.
Sportsbet has also framed a market on the number of House of Representatives seats expected to be won by each party.
The shortest price ($2.50) is for Labor to win 81-85 of the 150 seats, which would give the party a majority of between 12 and 20 seats, while 86-90 seats is rated a $3 chance.
