Mr Speaker, I have a question for you. Today, during question time, we had the unfortunate spectacle of several protestors interrupting proceedings in the gallery. I want to acknowledge the efficiency of security and other officers in removing those individuals. As they seriously did interrupt proceedings in the House and it was obviously very difficult to hear members and questions, including the Leader of the Opposition's question and the Prime Minister, I just want you to report, when you're able to, on the strengthening of the security protocols that you undertook on 4 July 2024 and any other measures that might be required on efficacy, and, of course, if anyone did indeed in this House sign in the individuals responsible for the protesting, whether there'll be any penalties or other action taken against people who have disrupted parliament.
