Parliamentary Service (Continuation of Interim Meaning of Funding for Parliamentary Purposes) Bill
I seek leave to take clauses 1 to 5 of the Parliamentary Service (Continuation of Interim Meaning of Funding for Parliamentary Purposes) Bill as one debatable question.
The CHAIRPERSON (Hon Rick Barker): Leave is sought for that purpose. Is there any objection? There appears to be none.
I raise a point of order, Mr Chairperson. This comment is addressed to Ms Bennett. It has just been drawn to my attention by people who have watched a video of question time in the House earlier today that Ms Bennett was waving rather than making a one-fingered gesture. It did not look like that from this angle. I apologise to her for the comments that I made.
The CHAIRPERSON (Hon Rick Barker): The member has offered an apology. That is acceptable, I am sure, but it is beyond the scope of the Committee to deal with it.
I understand that, but this is the first opportunity I have had to raise the matter.
The CHAIRPERSON (Hon Rick Barker): Breaching the rules with good intention, I assure the member, is usually acceptable.
Clauses 1 to 5
