Rulings from the Chair
Constituency questions
The SPEAKER (14:48): Before we return to government business, I have reviewed the constituency questions from Thursday 22 February. Previous Speakers’ rulings and the recent training on constituency questions provided by the department note that questions that start with ‘Will’ and ‘Can’ often in fact ask for an action rather than seek information. The members for Melbourne and Evelyn both asked for actions, so I rule those questions out of order. Further, the member for Melbourne did not direct her actual question to the Premier as she commenced her constituency question.
