Rulings from the Chair
Constituency questions
The PRESIDENT (09:33): During constituency questions yesterday I undertook to review Hansard in relation to a point of order around Mr McIntosh’s constituency question to the Minister for Treaty and First Peoples. Having reviewed Hansard, I do not believe the question is completely within the state jurisdiction, and also it is not a specific matter within the member’s constituency, so I rule the question out. But I am sure that Mr McIntosh has spoken to a number of First Nations representatives in his electorate, which has caused him to bring this issue to the Parliament. Also, there are state responsibilities around the Uluru statement. Mr McIntosh has two more cracks at it this week, but yesterday’s one is ruled out.
