Written responses

 The PRESIDENT (12:45): That ends questions and ministers statements.

Nick McGowan: On a point of order, President, under standing order 8.07(2) I ask you to please review the Minister for Youth Justice’s answers to today’s questions, in particular the correctional systems that relate to his responsibility for those prisoners on remand awaiting trial and sentencing.

The PRESIDENT: I am always happy to review answers to questions. I am going by the precedents of previous Presidents. As I have stated – it is probably boring that I keep saying it – members have every right to ask a minister any question they like, but a minister has the right to respond that that particular question should be in another minister’s remit. But I am happy to review it.

Anasina Gray-Barberio: On a point of order, President, I ask if it is possible for the Minister for Children to table the document that she spoke about in her ministers statement in relation to the letter that was signed by 14 disability advocates.

The PRESIDENT: Yes, if the minister is prepared to do so.

Lizzie Blandthorn: Yes.

The PRESIDENT: The minister is prepared to do so, so that will be tabled right now. And Minister Symes is going to get the answers for Mr Limbrick from the Minister for Government Services.
