Mr Speaker, before question time today I went to use the Telstra Call Connect service, 12456, in this House, which we had used previously. I was told that we were not able to. I then inquired of the serjeant’s office. It has been told that this service has been cut. To readily communicate with our electorates from Parliament House the Call Connect service is a valuable resource when seeking numbers or connections to faraway electorates. The cutting of this communication resource to our electorates does not assist us to readily respond to the constituents in our electorates. I would ask you to look at it. It has not been to the joint house committee. There has not been any consultation, and I am very disappointed that it has been cut on that basis.
