I noticed when I was walking up the corridor on level 1 today that several LNP members had put posters in the corridor rather than inside their rooms. I just wondered if the extent of ownership of a room extends beyond the wall to the corridor. It is certainly something that I would not be familiar with in my time in commercial law. I ask that you suggest that they take such posters down.

We will have some silence on my right. I cannot hear the question.

The question is that you ask those members to take the offensive posters down from the corridors. Obviously, if they are in the windows, those are areas that they have some control over, but it is my workplace and I suggest that I have a right to walk down those corridors.

I will take the question on notice. I do not know that we will be looking at the offensiveness but we will certainly look at the safety of the issue.
