MR SPEAKER: Members, let us not have a debate about this. Someone can take it up as a motion if they wish.

MS GALLAGHER: It is the largest single cost.

MR SPEAKER: Ms Gallagher, thank you.

MS GALLAGHER: I am trying to explain it for them, Mr Speaker. They do not understand. I table the following paper:

Queen’s visit to Canberra—Associated financial costs—October 2011.

Mr Smyth: Yes, but it is not the majority. No, $60,000 is not the majority cost.

MS GALLAGHER: It is the largest component of the cost.

MR SPEAKER: Order, members.
