Thank you, Chair.
I have a couple of observations, just listening to the testimony from you two and the security detail. First, I think what we see is that this incident happened, regardless of the reason. The fact is it happened and it shouldn't have happened. Whether it was a media bus or whether it was the Prime Minister's empty entourage, it doesn't really matter. The fact is it happened and should not have happened.
You were in the position that you were able to walk up. Uncomfortable footwear excluded, you were able to do that. Had you not been able to walk up, that would have been another problem we would be dealing with. That's something we need to deal with, because if it were someone else, this would be a bigger problem.
There are a couple of other things. The fact that the traffic was stopped for a media bus concerns me. Not that I don't like the media, but the fact that they had to stop the actual buses and the members from going up is questionable, because I think that's a bit extreme. I would love to see that video footage if we get a chance. It just seems extreme that you would stop MPs from getting up there, just for the media bus. Again, not that the media is.... I have friends in the media. That is questionable.
Also, there is the Speaker's report. I don't have it in front of me, so I won't quote directly. He said, I believe, three buses were stopped and held up, and his report alluded to other MPs being on the bus. Did you happen to see any, just out of curiosity? No one else has come forward.
