Question Time

Question Time

Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (14:31): Mr Speaker, my question is to you. Why are you giving the opposition fewer questions in this parliament than you gave the opposition in the last parliament? With the leave of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TARZIA: Mr Speaker, you presided over 10 question times in the last parliament and gave the opposition an average of 17.5 questions a day during that period. This included allowing the then opposition 10 uninterrupted runs of five questions, six runs of six questions and two runs of seven questions. In the first two days of this parliament, the opposition has had an average of 11 questions.

The SPEAKER (14:32): I will certainly consider the matters you have raised and return to the house. I do observe, of course, that your statement relates to two days of sittings and I'm not sure that it's going to be a representative sample over four years.
