Ms Anna Burke Speaker
Sorry; I was so intent on the dairy bill before; my humble apologies.

Thank you, Speaker. I take the suggestion of naming a seat after me and will have my family consider it in due course!
Ms Anna Burke Speaker
I had one and it got abolished! So it all happens!

As required by standing order 51, I rise to inform the House of a matter of privilege which may amount to a contempt of the parliament. The matter relates to the unauthorised disclosure of the report of the Standing Committee on Regional Australia on the impact of fly-in fly-out work practices on regional Australia. The report has been adopted but not yet presented. A report in today's West Australian newspaper published the title of the report, information about recommendations and the name of a member who has presented a dissenting report. The committee will consider this matter and, if it considers that the unauthorised disclosure has interfered with its work, I will report to the House if necessary at a future time. Pursuant to standing order 53, I present a copy of the article that refers to the committee's report.
Ms Anna Burke Speaker
I thank the member for New England for bringing it to the attention of the House.
