Senate debates Statement by the President

Photography in the Senate

Stephen Parry President

9:31 am

I indicated to the Senate yesterday that I had had a request from the media in relation to photography in the chamber. I indicated that I would bring that proposal again back to the Senate so that people could consider that overnight. My proposal is: if any senator objects at all to any changes in the current media rules governing the Senate, without debate, the status quo will remain. Does any senator object?

Then, in that case, the status quo remains.
