Wendouree electorate

Juliana ADDISON (Wendouree) (14:52): (839) My constituency question is for the Minister for Health, and the question I ask is: how will women living in the electorate of Wendouree benefit from the Allan Labor government’s investment in women’s health clinics? I am passionate about the provision of health care for women in my community, and I am particularly interested to learn more about the provision of gynaecological services as well as treatment for pelvic pain conditions and menopause. I am proud to be a part of a government that has made women’s health and wellbeing its priority. Our health matters, and we need to be heard and believed and have our medical needs taken seriously and addressed effectively. I look forward to the minister’s response.

Bridget Vallence: On a point of order, Speaker, I still have a number of questions that are unanswered by ministers and overdue now. To the Minister for Jobs and Industry, there is adjournment matter 833 and questions on notice 1621, 1622 and 1623. There are a number with the Minister for Skills and TAFE – questions 1141, 1357 and 1358. To the Minister for Economic Growth, the questions overdue are questions 1589, 1591, 1592, 1599, 1629 and 1630 – still defying the orders of the house.

The SPEAKER: Order! There is no commentary associated with a point of order. I would like to remind members that the procedure office is currently updating the database as we speak in relation to questions that have not been responded to, so I encourage members to check later today and, if it is still an issue, to raise points of order tomorrow.

Sam Groth: Thank you, Speaker. I will take up your note there, but I also raise a point of order in relation to question 835 to the Minister for Emergency Services and constituency question 784 to the Minister for Children.

Roma Britnell: On a point of order, Speaker, it is disappointing, given that your directive before the break was to –

The SPEAKER: Order! What is your point of order, member for South-West Coast? I ask you to state your point of order succinctly.

Roma Britnell: Like the previous point of order, the Minister for Children in the other place has 24 outstanding questions on child protection. Those are numbers 1686, 1685, 1684, 1406, 1405, 1404, 1403, 1402, 1401, 1400, 1399, 1398, 1397, 1396, 1395, 1394, 1393, 1392, 1391, 1390, 1686, 1685, 1684 and 1395, which was due in August, a long time ago.

The SPEAKER: I refer the member to my previous comments about the procedure office currently updating the database.
