I'm not going to keep updating the House on all the changes that you are now familiar with. There are some more obvious ones here today. There is one other change I'll just advise members—and I haven't advised the Leader of the House or the Manager of Opposition Business of this yet, but I will now, so apologies for that—in terms of the health advice and keeping maximum ventilation in the chamber, having the doors open. You'd be familiar with that. We'll do that in divisions as well. I will say, perversely, 'Lock the doors' but the doors won't be locked and the attendants will make sure no-one else enters.
