Tuesday, 23 June 2009
MR SPEAKER (Mr Rattenbury) took the chair at 10 am, made a formal recognition that the Assembly was meeting on the lands of the traditional custodians, and asked members to stand in silence and pray or reflect on their responsibilities to the people of the Australian Capital Territory.
Notice not conforming with standing orders
Ruling by Speaker
MR SPEAKER: Members, I wish to make a ruling on a notice on the notice paper. Last week Mr Coe lodged a notice to amend Disallowable Instrument 2009-68, which is the Road Transport (Public Passenger Services) Regular Route Services Maximum Fares Determination 2009 (No 2).
Government-sourced advice provided to me by the Chief Minister indicated that the instrument cannot be amended. As such, after discussing the matter with the Clerk, I believe the notice contravenes standing order 77(i), and I am therefore ruling the notice out of order and instructing the Clerk to remove the notice from the notice paper.

Leave granted.
MRS DUNNE: Scrutiny report 8 contains the committee’s comments on 41 pieces of subordinate legislation and two government responses. The report was circulated to members when the Assembly was not sitting. I commend the report to the Assembly.
