I have a question—

About administration?

Indeed.

Good. Then I recognise the member—for that purpose only.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. It follows the very important matter raised by the Treasurer with respect to parliamentary Hansard. I would ask you, Madam Speaker, whether you might consider writing to the Standing Committee on Appropriations and Administration asking it to seek from the Treasurer a new policy proposal to fund the provision of Hansard in this place.

I think that sounds a bit spurious.
