TITLE OF PRESIDING OFFICER
MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister), by leave: I move:
That, pursuant to subsection 11(2) of the Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988, the title of the Presiding Officer of this Assembly be "Speaker"; and that this resolution have effect from the commencement of the Second Assembly and continue in force unless and until amended or repealed by this or a subsequent Assembly.
Madam Speaker, the reason for moving this motion is to ensure that there is no uncertainty arising from the motion adopted by the First Assembly in relation to the title of the Presiding Officer. While that motion provided for the title of the Presiding Officer to be Speaker, the motion did not refer to the requirement under the Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act for the Assembly to determine the title of the Presiding Officer. Nor did it refer to any time limit in relation to the use of this title.
The motion before us seeks to remove any potential uncertainty and to clarify that, pursuant to the self-government Act, the title of the Presiding Officer is to be Speaker until otherwise determined by this or a future Assembly.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
