Mr Speaker, my question is to you. Are members of this House covered by occupational health and safety legislation? Does the volume of the microphones in the House conform to this legislation? Does the noise level contravene the standards set out in the occupational health and safety legislation when the Treasurer screams at the dispatch box?

I say to the member for Shortland that I will look into the serious parts of that question and report back.
