There has been some media reporting online of an alleged incident involving a young apprentice visiting Parliament House who was allegedly asked by a security guard to take off her shirt because it had a union logo on it. I appreciate you'll need to make inquiries. I ask: is this policy of not allowing someone wearing a union logo T-shirt into the parliament approved by the Department of Parliamentary Services? Is it a policy endorsed by or known to the Presiding Officers?
