Mr Speaker, I have a question to you. Can you please confirm to the House that the Department of Parliamentary Services has recently determined that Hansard staff finishing work late at night can no longer access a cabcharge to get home, as has been past practice? Can you explain why this decision has been taken and whether the department owes Hansard staff a duty of care to ensure their safe return home after working late into the night?
