We're very concerned that a politician or minister could be used to promote an event, a month after he had made clear he wasn't attending, and as to the use of the Great Hall of the parliament for commercial purposes to mislead attendees. I'm very concerned because of the fact that the Great Hall holds great prestige. I'm concerned about the reputational risk to the Parliament of Australia to allow such events to be hosted on its premises. Would you please provide an update at your earliest convenience as to what can be done to prevent this happening in the future?
