I indicated to the Senate yesterday that I had had a request from the media in relation to photography in the chamber. I indicated that I would bring that proposal again back to the Senate so that people could consider that overnight. My proposal is: if any senator objects at all to any changes in the current media rules governing the Senate, without debate, the status quo will remain. Does any senator object?

I object.

Then, in that case, the status quo remains.
