Mr LEO McLEAY (3:20 PM) —Mr Speaker, you and the member for Wentworth have indicated that the member for Wentworth raised an issue he referred to as electronic stalking with you and the Clerk. Could you tell the House whether you or the Clerk raised this matter with the Prime Minister or the Leader of the House or their officers?


The SPEAKER —I can certainly indicate to the member for Watson that there has been no contact between me and the Leader of the House and the Prime Minister's office on this matter at all. I believe I can say the same thing for the Clerk—I will check, and if there is anything I need to add I will come back to the member for Watson. In the interests of transparency I should indicate that I did get a phone call about the matter from the Prime Minister's office, but only after they said it had been raised with them by a member of the press gallery.
