Thank you. Madam Deputy Speaker, this morning the state member for Townsville has, I believe, sought to interfere with the free performance by me of my parliamentary duties. Mr Reynolds has tried to intimidate me into not communicating with my electorate. Such an action is a breach of privilege and a contempt of this parliament. I am seeking enforcement of the full sanctions of the parliament in the matter of privilege and contempt. I will provide the Speaker with the evidence that I have, and I will request that this be referred to the Privileges Committee.
