          <by role="member" id="599">The PRESIDENT (15:15):</by>  I will respond to the honourable member by saying that there is a meeting of the Standing Orders Committee scheduled for, I think it is, 12 March. That meeting is in response to the submissions that were sought from members of parliament late last year, if members would remember that. That meeting will continue.</text>
        <text id="202103033dfe8b166e91406190000255">Obviously, the matters you have raised—and I think the Treasurer has raised—are matters for all of us to consider in various forms. There are a number of recommendations that relate particularly to the parliament, and I will be working with the Clerk and with the Speaker and the Clerk of the House of Assembly in those areas that are pertinent to the workings of the parliament, and obviously the government is taking up some issues.</text>
        <text id="202103033dfe8b166e91406190000256">However, if there are matters specifically relating to standing orders that the member would like the next meeting of the Standing Orders Committee to consider, then I would appreciate if she would provide them to me in due course.</text>
