Standing orders
Voting yes supported changing two Legislative Council standing orders, 14.06(1)(c) and 14.07(1)(d), so that required statements under an Act are tabled and incorporated in Hansard, taking effect from the next sitting week.
The question put
That the following changes to standing orders take effect from next sitting week: (1) omit all the words and expressions in standing order 14.06(1)(c) and replace with ‘will table any statements required by an Act of Parliament and the statements will be incorporated in Hansard;’; and (2) omit all the words and expressions in standing order 14.07(1)(d) and replace with ‘will table any statements required by an Act of Parliament and the statements will be incorporated in Hansard;’.
