I have another question to you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Does the referral of the budget to a committee of this House mean that the parliament cannot debate the budget in this chamber?
Ms Anna Burke Deputy-Speaker
I can answer that question and the answer is no. Just to clarify, the reason I am not seeking to make a ruling is that I am not the Speaker.
