I second this motion, and I think that the member for Warringah has outlined very clearly the dilemma that we have for changing the workplace culture in this parliament. What the public see is not what happens in our committees or in our corridors or across the parliament where the code of behaviour does apply. I made reference to this yesterday in my speech commending the Speaker to the position that you hold. This is the kind of amendment that gives the Speaker the tools that the Speaker needs to improve the behaviour in the parliament that will improve the respect that is shown to members and will be in alignment with modern workplace culture across this nation.
