I have some questions about the reviews of the code of conduct. In your second reading speech, you mentioned that the behaviour codes that will be established by this bill will apply to staff of parliamentarians, and we were informed that in their drafting there was little consultation with the established staff employment bodies, such as the work, health and safety committee and the employee consultative group. Minister, can you commit to the Joint Select Committee on Parliamentary Standards consulting fully with these bodies on codes that will directly impact staff during any future review?
