STATEMENT BY THE SPEAKER

The SPEAKER (15:16): I want to give a short reminder about arrangements for this evening with respect to the Leader of the Opposition's budget reply speech. As I outlined on Tuesday, the usual courtesies apply to the Leader of the Opposition's speech as they did to the Treasurer's. As noted on Tuesday, if I'm required to make use of standing order 94(a), the member will be advised by written note.

Finally, I ask all members to ensure their guests comply with the standards of behaviour applying to the galleries and remind all members that they are responsible for their invited guests.
