          <by role="member" id="5381">The SPEAKER (11:02):</by>  Honourable members, I make the following statement in relation to the reporting of members' entitlements. Prior to my appointment as Speaker, a number of comments were made in the house concerning the need for greater transparency in respect of certain entitlements for members of parliament. My predecessor was also considering providing information on the Leader of the Opposition's accommodation allowance.</text>
        <text id="20200922c033a00a40804f31b0000013">I can advise the house that I have given consideration to the reporting on members' entitlements and I have arranged for monthly reporting to be published on the parliamentary internet so that all members of the public can access details on country members' accommodation allowance claims and the Leader of the Opposition's travel allowances that are administered by the House of Assembly.</text>
        <text id="20200922c033a00a40804f31b0000014">Consistent with the earlier tabling of 10 years of country members' accommodation allowance claims by my predecessor, I now table a report on the Leader of the Opposition's travel and accommodation claims administered by the House of Assembly for the period 2010-11 to 2019-20.</text>
        <text id="20200922c033a00a40804f31b0000015">Before monthly reporting on members' entitlements will be made available on the parliamentary internet, there are a number of administrative tasks that need to be completed. I will keep the house updated on when the reporting will be available on the parliamentary internet.</text>
