Statements of treaty compatibility

 The SPEAKER (17:09): The Acting Speaker referred to me a point of order by the Manager of Opposition Business about a statement of treaty compatibility. I consider this to be a matter for the house. However, I refer members to section 66(3)(a) of the Statewide Treaty Act 2025, which requires a statement of compatibility to state whether the First Peoples’ Assembly was given an opportunity to advise on a bill. The minister’s statement contains that information.
