Rulings from the Chair

Constituency questions

 The DEPUTY SPEAKER (14:40): I have a ruling here from the Speaker, who has reviewed the constituency questions from yesterday. The member for Evelyn asked the Treasurer a question about the Labor Party, which is not a matter of government administration. Further, although the Speaker has allowed some latitude for members linking constituency questions to their electorate or constituency, the member did not refer at all to her electorate in her question. The member for Evelyn’s constituency question is therefore ruled out of order. The member for Prahran asked two questions of the minister. Rulings from the Chair only allows one constituency question to be asked. Therefore, the member for Prahran’s question is also ruled out of order.
