Points of Order — Amended Emissions Trading Scheme Legislation—Availability
Time unknown
I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I have waited for the Clerk to indicate to you whether there are any bills for introduction. I understand from media reports that the House will once again be going into urgency this Thursday, to consider the amended emissions trading scheme legislation. I wondered whether the Leader of the House could give us an indication as to when that legislation might be available for the public, the media, and members of Parliament to consider it before it is debated in the House on Thursday, just in terms of good process for our Parliament. Clearly it will not meet the 3-day rule.
Time unknown
As I told the honourable member last Friday, it will be available as soon as possible.
