House debates Constituency Statements
Main Committee Clocks
Ms Anna Burke Deputy-Speaker
There is no indulgence. You have one minute of the constituency statements debate left.
Peter Slipper Fisher, Liberal Party
I was going to say that I participated in the 90-second statements yesterday and I noticed that the electronic clock was not used—
Peter Slipper Fisher, Liberal Party
I am wondering whether, Madam Deputy Speaker, as the presiding officer responsible for this place, you might consider whether it would be possible for it to run in the future, to assist members.
Ms Anna Burke Deputy-Speaker
The member for Fisher will resume his seat. As everybody knows, in this place the clock has never run for 90-second statements. It never ran downstairs. We do not have the capacity to set it for that time. If someone wishes to pursue it through the Standing Committee on Procedure they are most welcome to do so. I note the member’s interest. Others have raised it with me. In accordance with standing order 193, the time for members’ constituency statements has concluded.
