Regulatory Systems (Education) Amendment Bill
I move, That the Regulatory Systems (Education) Amendment Bill be reported back to the House by 31 July 2023.
The question is that the motion be agreed to. Those of that opinion will say Aye—
💬 Hon Michael Woodhouse: Point of order.
I would have to get to the end of this before I come to you for the point of order.
💬 Hon Michael Woodhouse: It’s relevant to the process. My understanding is that under the Standing Orders, the Minister moving this motion, which is a debatable motion, has to explain to the House why it’s necessary for the shortened report-back. We didn’t get that.
The advice I have is that it’s not a debatable motion because it’s four months. So, if it was a shortened time period, it would be debatable.
