Mr Speaker, as you know, budget week will be our first week back in the House. Pinnacle Apartments, where many of our staff members stay during their 20-week time in Canberra, are proposing to charge extortionate rates for this one night. On budget night, 8 May, Pinnacle rates are going from $180 a night to $420 a night. Do you agree with me that this is a shameful way to treat our hardworking staff?

That question is not relevant to the responsibilities of the Speaker.
