The issue that was raised in the question, though, is a serious one, and the government has been considering it seriously from day one and we have taken action from day one: the work that is done through the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet; the establishment of the new counselling procedures and the 24/7 call line; and the establishment of the independent complaints process—a critical part of what was necessary to keep people who are working in this building safe in whichever role they work. We have been taking action and putting in place a much-improved environment in this place.

I look forward to receiving the Jenkins review and I look forward to us working together to take further action on it. I think that will be important. When we receive that review, we will make a decision about its release, as we do with every single report. But I would ask the opposition: if you want to work with us on this, then don't play political games in this place with it.
