I simply say to the member for Sturt, as I was going to say to the whole chamber, it really has nothing to do with the executive government. It is the business of parliament and the buck stops with me and the President. I am treating this seriously. The House Committee will be meeting on Monday, and the new contracts are well and truly on the agenda. We will be looking at mechanisms so that we can make sure that all complaints, from the serious level of the complaint raised by the parliamentary secretary through to all the teething problems that there have been, can be looked at in a proper way. I will make sure that the Secretary of the Department of Parliamentary Services looks into the matters raised by the parliamentary secretary and I will get back to him.
