 The PRESIDENT (13:08): There is just one more outstanding matter. Members will no doubt be aware there was an incident on Spring Street outside Parliament House on 12 September. Victoria Police and Parliament security managed the incident without harm to any persons or property. I believe that they potentially saved the life of the person in question, so I want to commend our security and VicPol on that. During the incident an email was sent out to certain employees of the Parliament, and other employees of the Parliament, including MPs, did not receive that same email. I do not think it is good practice for me to speak publicly about security processes in this house, but in saying that, the issue has been taken up and there have been discussions at a high level around how we approach a similar event in the future.
