Original question, as amended, resolved in the affirmative.

Privileges 2019—Select Committee

Proposed establishment

MADAM SPEAKER: Members, just before question time I indicated that a matter of privilege would be given precedence. I ask Ms Cody to move her motion.

MS CODY (Murrumbidgee) (4.25): I move:

That:

(1) pursuant to standing order 277, a Select Committee on Privileges be established to examine whether there has been a breach of privilege relating to the Standing Committee on Health, Ageing and Community Services in the release of unauthorised committee documents;

(2) the Privileges Committee shall report back to the Assembly on the first sitting day of July 2019; and

(3) the Committee shall be composed of:

(a) one member nominated by the Government;

(b) one member nominated by the Opposition; and

to be notified to the Speaker by 5pm Thursday, 4 April 2019.

I will not take long. I am moving the motion today because I was gravely concerned about some reports that appeared in the media today. I felt that there could be confidentiality concerns and the way forward, I believe, and the best way forward, is to set up an independent committee to look at some of the issues that I have raised in correspondence with you today, Madam Speaker.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
