House debates Questions to the Speaker
Standing Orders
Bob McMullan Fraser, Australian Labor Party
3:21 pm
I wish to raise again with you a matter I raised earlier. For the third time you ruled on a question today and said ‘a part of this question is unnecessary’. I wish to ask you to reflect on which part of the standing orders gives you the authority to rule on part of a question being ‘unnecessary’.
David Hawker Speaker
If I refer the member for Fraser to standing order 100, he would find a list of reasons I could easily refer to.
