Mr MAREK —Mr Speaker, as you are aware, Mr and Mrs Joe Worker—the public—are not permitted to bring cameras into this place. You will be aware that in recent weeks more of the media—and possibly others—are being permitted into the chamber to take photographs. Will you please look into this to see if it is considered acceptable, if it has always been a past practice. Thank you very much.

Mr SPEAKER —I thank the member for Capricornia. There has been a quite definitive relaxation of the rules pertaining to photography within the chamber. It is monitored by my department very carefully, and at the moment I have no cause for any apprehension about the way in which photography is being pursued within the chamber.
