Administration and Procedure—Standing Committee

Reporting date

MS CHEYNE (Ginninderra) (10.09), by leave: I move:

That the resolution of the Assembly of 14 February 2019, which referred whether the protocols in place around the permissions for MLAs to visit or attend school events constitute an impediment to Members performing their function as MLAs in complying with the Code of Conduct for All Members of the Legislative Assembly to the Standing Committee on Administration and Procedure, be amended by omitting the words “last sitting day in May 2019” and substituting “last sitting day in June 2019”.

I will speak briefly. Madam Speaker, as you well know, we need a few more days to consider this as a committee, due to the late receipt of some submissions.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
