Mr Speaker, I have a question to you. Can you confirm that requests have been made by the media to allow pool TV cameras in galleries to enable clean feeds of question time? Have these requests been denied? During the address by the Canadian Prime Minister, there was a TV camera in the southern public gallery. I am unaware as to whether it was a departmental camera or otherwise. If that camera can be used on that occasion, why can’t Australian media be allowed to either pool cameras or have a clean feed of question time?
