Mr Speaker, I have noted the innovation of the laptop computer in the Speaker’s chair, and I presume it is to provide helpful information from the Clerk in a timely way. I have noticed you from time to time glancing at the screen, presuming you are reading the information provided there. I wonder why the same facility has not been made available to other members of the Speaker’s panel?

I thank the member for Fremantle for her question. I believe that, if other members requested it, it would be available.
