In response to the comments of the member for North Sydney, I totally agree that the mother concerned should not have been in any way embarrassed. A crying baby in the gallery, from the point of view of those in the chair, is the least of our worries. On the serious proposal, there has from time to time been discussion about the matters raised by the member for North Sydney. Regrettably, the access to the galleries used by the schools presents challenges for wheelchairs, prams and the like. But I think it is an apt reminder, and we can revisit the proposal that the member for North Sydney has raised.
