Mr Speaker, on Monday this week the President of the Senate told Senate estimates that the $2 million retractable bollards at the three entrances to this building would not operate between 8 am and 9 am this week and in the next sitting weeks. This morning the retractable bollards were working as normal at that time of the morning. Mr Speaker, were you consulted about this, and are you aware if this decision has anything to do with the television program A Current Affair indicating to the Department of Parliamentary Services yesterday that they would be in Parliament House today to film a story on this issue?
