STATE ELECTION

Private Members Business, Other Motions, Notices of Motion, No. 5: Mr Venning to move:

That this house—

(a) notes the result of the 2010 state election and in particular, that this was the third election since 1989 where the party receiving more than half the vote was unable to form government and that the Australian Labor Party was the beneficiary on each occasion; and

(b) urges the boundaries commission to draw boundaries with a stronger consideration of fairness.

Mr VENNING (Schubert) (12:02): I ask that this motion be withdrawn because it has been on the Notice Paper for over a year and the matter is no longer relevant. It does highlight a problem: it has been on this Notice Paper for so long that it would be futile to debate it now.

Notice of motion withdrawn.
