I don't think it is restricting press freedom.

I think the action taken was appropriate, given the circumstances that were brought our attention.

Over the summer we will look at it all fully, where we feel journalists should or should not have access.

Members can work remotely but it is discouraged. It is a parliament...it is for people to meet and deliberate and scrutiny is much more effective if you are in the room.

Yes or the coffee lounge. A piece of nonsense it was.

One of the changes I have brought in is that if members are going to be absent for two weeks they will need to notify the Presiding Officer with a reason so people aren't just working remotely week after week.
