Urgent Debates Declined — School Truancy—Release of School Attendance Data
Time unknown
I have received a letter from Erica Stanford—[Interruption] Do members want the answer to this one or are they going to chip me again?
I have received a letter from Erica Stanford seeking to debate under Standing Order 399 the release of attendance data. School attendance is undoubtedly an important issue, but an accumulation of data on an issue is not a particular case of recent occurrence. Speakers’ rulings 204/4 and 204/5 apply. The application is declined.
I declare the House in committee for consideration of the Education and Training Amendment Bill (No 2).
