 Mr GRIMLEY (Western Victoria) (10:10): I move, by leave:

That there be laid before this house a copy of the community petition on services and support for survivors and communities impacted by systemic child sexual abuse.

Ms Taylor: On a point of order, President, we are not denying leave, but it is conditional on one element. This obviously is an important issue, and that is why we are not denying leave. However, our standing orders have a manner and form of how petitions must be tabled, and members should respect those processes. The Procedure Committee needs to look at this to ensure our standing orders are fit for purpose and respected by all members of Parliament.

Motion agreed to.
