There was a joint sitting in the Senate earlier today. There was the use of a prop by a Greens senator which I think all of us found incredibly disorderly and disrespectful to Her Excellency the Governor-General. I was wondering whether you would be able to speak to the President of the Senate to see what possibility there is for action to be taken regarding the use of such a prop at an occasion like that. It was—I think I speak for most members of the House, if not all—incredibly disrespectful.

I thank the member for Wannon. Those discussions have already taken place.
