Mr FITZGIBBON —Mr Speaker, you would be aware that backbenchers in this place occasionally find themselves in Canberra without staff. It would be helpful on such occasions if we could redirect our telephones to mobile phones so that, wherever we are in the building, we can still service our offices. From advice given by PISO, I understand that this is technically possible; however, there is a financial constraint. I would ask you to consider making additional funding available to PISO to enable this practice to take place.

Mr SPEAKER —I take note of the honourable gentleman's question and will respond further to him tomorrow.
