Rulings from the Chair
Constituency questions
The SPEAKER (14:44): Following a point of order from the member for Bentleigh I have reviewed all constituency questions asked yesterday. The member for Point Cook did not ask for information but asked a minister to take action, and I rule this question inadmissible. The members for Rowville and Narracan asked questions that did not relate to their constituencies, and I rule these questions inadmissible. Constituency questions need to be about constituency matters, not simply matters of broad public policy of interest to members’ constituents. I encourage members to refer to the section on constituency questions in the Procedure Guide on the members’ intranet or check their proposed wording with the clerks or me in advance.
