Rulings from the Chair

Constituency questions

 The SPEAKER (14:55): I have reviewed the constituency questions from 20 November 2025. The member for Nepean asked two or perhaps three questions that, while related, were on two separate matters. One was seeking information about reasons for the closure of a specific road and the other was about maintenance of roads across the electorate. Standing order 55A states that members may ask one oral question each to ministers. Therefore I rule the member’s question out of order. The member for Cranbourne asked a broad policy question and did not sufficiently demonstrate how it was specifically relevant to her electorate or her constituents, and I therefore rule that member’s question out of order.
