Rulings from the Chair
Parliamentary precinct security
The SPEAKER (17:01): The Manager of Opposition business took a point of order asking me to advise the house on Victoria Police’s views on access arrangements to Parliament House and reforms to the Parliamentary Precincts Act 2001. Members will understand that Presiding Officers will not discuss security arrangements in a public forum, such as the chamber, though any member is welcome to meet with me in my office to talk about security matters. I would add, though, that views expressed by Victoria Police are not matters for the Presiding Officers to clarify.
