I have an update for the House, out of courtesy. As you well know, we've had an ICT network outage. A circular has gone out from the department. The Department of Parliamentary Services has worked through the night and continues to work to restore systems. Just in the last 10 or 15 minutes emails and some other systems have started to come back online, but it will take a few more hours yet for all systems to be restored. I want to thank members for their patience. In terms of the House itself, our systems here are unaffected in terms of bells, broadcasting and everything else. I just want to make that clear at the start. I do have a handwritten speakers list, which is nice!
