Mr Speaker, I seek your indulgence to ask you a question, because a matter has just come to my notice which I believe requires your investigation. While the last procedures have been going on, I have just received two emails. I have two private, hidden email addresses on the parliamentary system that are not available to anybody publicly. I have received two emails, one in each inbox, from the office of the member for Jagajaga and I ask you: does the parliamentary system provide members’ hidden email addresses to the government?

I will investigate the matter raised by the honourable member for Herbert and give him a response as soon as I am able.
