Before members leave the House, I want to give a short reminder about arrangements for this evening with respect to the Leader of the Opposition's budget reply speech. As outlined on Tuesday, the usual courtesies apply to the Leader of the Opposition's speech, as they did with the Treasurer's. With respect to this evening, the Leader of the Opposition will have the call, and he is entitled to speak without interruption. As with the Treasurer's speech on Tuesday, standing order 1 provides there is no time limit on the speech. The clock is used as a guide only. Again, whilst I haven't had to do this yet, if I'm required to make use of standing order 94(a), the member will be advised by written note. I ask all members to ensure that their guests comply with COVID-safe measures in place in the building and the standards of behaviour that apply in the galleries. I remind all those members with guests that they are personally responsible for their invited guests. I thank the House.
