Parliamentary Procedure

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE

Mr PISONI: I would like to raise a point of order under 198, concerning the tabling of papers. The Training and Skills Development Act 2008 states that:

(1) The Commission must, on or before 31 March in each year, present to the Minister a report on its operations for the preceding calendar year.

(2) The Minister must, within 6 sitting days after receipt of a report under this section, cause copies of the report to be laid before each House of Parliament.

I do not believe that has been done. Today is the last chance for the minister to do so.

The SPEAKER: And today is apparently the day.

Mr PISONI: And it has not happened, sir.

The SPEAKER: It is about to happen, if you will let it happen.

Mr PISONI: It is not listed.

An honourable member: It is not on the green.

The SPEAKER: I am sorry if it is not on the green, but I am assured reliably that it will be tabled this very day. Under 'Presentation of Papers, Notices of Motion, and Ministerial Statements', indeed, on my green has been written in hand, 'Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills'.
