STATEMENT BY THE SPEAKER

The SPEAKER (15:36): Before members leave the House, 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 I also noted, 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 that their guests comply with the standards of behaviour applying to the galleries. I remind members that they are responsible for their invited guests. I thank the House.
