Points of Order — Questions for Written Answer—Overdue Replies
Time unknown
I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. It is an issue in relation to unanswered written questions, and I have raised this issue before. There are now 82 overdue questions that the Minister for Social Development and Employment needs to reply to me on. Fifty-six of those have since been answered with a non-answer, which simply stated that they would be responded to shortly. This matter is now becoming quite ridiculous. We have had weeks and weeks of this. I have written twice to the Leader of the House, and he has acknowledged that. I would ask you, Madam Speaker, whether you could do anything to assist with this matter.

I thank the member. Yes, I will be discussing the matter with the member.
