Written responses

The PRESIDENT (12:55): Minister Symes will get responses from the Treasurer for Mrs Deeming’s two questions.

Samantha Ratnam: On a point of order, President, I do not believe my supplementary question was answered relevantly, so I would like you to consider reinstating that question.

And on a further point of order, President, I believe in a response to my question the minister made false assertions about the independence of a community organisation, and I ask you to ask the minister to withdraw those comments.

The PRESIDENT: No, the minister has got parliamentary privilege to make commentary on organisations. I am happy to review the supplementary. I did believe in real time that she definitely answered it, but I will review that and get back to the house.
