Written responses

The DEPUTY PRESIDENT (12:12): I order a written response to Mr Davis’s question to the Minister for Local Government, his substantive question only.

Mr Davis: On a point of order, Deputy President, he did not answer whether he had met with the council.

The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Could we just get through the list of responses. I have ordered a written response to your substantive question, Mr Davis.

Mr Leane: On a point of order, Deputy President, I do not ask for an immediate response now, but can I ask you to review that at your leisure today, which has been the practice this term. I believe I did answer the question that Mr Davis posed, but I respect your immediate response.

The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: I am happy to review Hansard and come back later. I order a written response for Mr Meddick’s question to the minister for environment, both his substantive and supplementary, two days; a written response for Dr Cumming’s question to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure, both her question and supplementary, two days; a written response for Mr Hayes’s question for the minister for energy, both question and supplementary, two days for both; a written response for Ms Patten’s question to the Attorney-General, and as the Attorney-General is not here we will allow two days for that response for the question and the supplementary; and a written response from the Minister for Workplace Safety to Mr Davis’s question and his supplementary.

Ms Stitt: On a point of order, Deputy President, I believe I gave a very fulsome response to Mr Davis’s question in a very detailed way. Again, without flouting your ruling, I would ask that you have a look at Hansard.

The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: I am happy to review Hansard and come back.

Mr Davis: On a point of order, Deputy President, the question was what premium rate was recommended by WorkSafe in 2021–22 and an equivalent question for 2022–23. They were very specific questions.

Ms Stitt: Further to the point of order, Deputy President, that is not a point of order. But if that is going to be treated as a point of order, then I would ask that you look at Hansard for both the supplementary and the substantive question.

The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: I was not treating it as a point of order, and I have already agreed to do that for you, Minister. I order a written response to Ms Maxwell’s question to the Minister for Corrections, both her question and her supplementary, two days.
