Honourable senators, I seek concurrence, as I did last year, in relation to a request from the press gallery. The press gallery has requested that photographs may be taken not in agreement with the current practices concerning the division for the Higher Education and Research Reform Bill 2014, which will be debated shortly. I would seek concurrence on the same terms that I granted the press gallery last time with the concurrence of the Senate, and those were that photographs be broad shots of the chamber only; that individual senators or groups of senators not be the focus of any particular shot; and that media rules be otherwise complied with at all times. Unless I have any objection, do I have the concurrence of the Senate for that to take place for the higher education bill? There being no objection, it is so ordered.
