(a) a Legislative Assembly sitting day; (b) a Legislative Council sitting day; (c) a joint sitting day; and (d) a non-sitting day? We do not keep statistics of the nature sought by the Member. Anecdotal evidence and the occasional check suggests that about 250 people enter the building on a non-sitting day, and that on a busy day when both Houses are sitting the numbers will be around 650. Those figures represent the approximate total number of people entering the building over a day and do not reflect an average or maximum in the building at any one time.
