On indulgence, Madam Deputy Speaker, I would like to raise an issue. The member for Kennedy signed in two individuals on unaccompanied passes today. Those two individuals have been harassing my office and, without any proper reference to those individuals by the member for Kennedy, those two people came into my office—specifically into my office—and harassed my staff. I ask that you investigate the matter. It does relate to the security of the building, and I would like to see a report from the Speaker on the matter as a matter of priority, please.

I thank the member for North Sydney. It is an important matter and it will be investigated.
