Standing Orders
Mr TUCKEY (3:10 PM)
—Mr Speaker, I refer you to today's two questions to the Prime Minister from the member for Canberra and to standing order 144, which says:
Questions should not ask Ministers—
(b) to announce the Government's policy
Can you advise the parliament in due course whether the questions referred to breach that requirement?
The SPEAKER
—Let me indicate to the member for O'Connor that he has been in the House just a little longer than I have. He has in that time witnessed questions like those he referred to which have been allowed by a number of speakers. I will, however, check in my morning meeting with the Clerk tomorrow about the consistency of my ruling and report to the member if I have not been consistent with the actions taken by previous speakers. I allowed the questions to stand because I was certain that not only were they within the standing orders but also similar questions have been asked over the 21 years I have been in the parliament.
