LAPTOP COMPUTER - TRIAL USE IN CHAMBER AND GALLERY
Statement by Speaker

MR SPEAKER: I wish to inform members that, after consideration by the Standing Committee on Administration and Procedure, permission has been given for the Chief Minister to trial the use of a laptop computer in the chamber during questions without notice this week. In the first instance the system will be tested by the Chief Minister's senior adviser or media adviser in the gallery during question time and, depending on the outcome, the Chief Minister may commence trialling the system herself at her desk in the chamber.
