RULINGS, OBSERVATIONS AND OPIN­IONS:

Add1·ess-in-Reply: The Govemor's open­jug speech <;>utlines the policy of the State Government, and therefore debate on the motion for the adoption of the Address­jn-Reply should deal· essentially with the policy of that Government and not with matters that do not concern the State Gov­ernment as questions of policy. Reference may be made to the nationalization of trading banks only as far as it affects the legislative and administratiYe activities of the Government of New South Wales 63 65. ' '

It is not inconsistent with the order of ~· the House for a motion under Standing

Order 113A for the disallowance of a regulation, to be dealt with before the resumption of the . debate upon the motion for the adoption of the Address­in-Reply, 157.

Debate on the Address-in-Reply must be confined to matters contained in the Govel'Jior's Speech and to matters omit­ted from it that could properly have been jncluded, 315.

Acl,i'oun~ment: An hon. member is not in order, on the motion for the adjourn­ment of the House, in discussing the ad­ministration of the Parliamentary Estab­lishment by l\fr. President and Mr. Speaker, 2111.

,. A matter suitable for only general r debate may not be brought before the

House on a. motion for adjournment, 2338, 2339, 2340, 3174, 3709.

On the motion for the adjournment of the House, bon. members may refer only to matters of urgent public importance or specific matters relating to their own electorates, 2725.

An hon. member may not quote from cul'l'ent Hansa~·cl, 2726.

ASSEMBLY (continued):

SPEAKF..R, MR. (THE HoN. W. H.· LAMB), RuLINGS, OBSERVATIONS AND OPIN­IONS (continued):

Chair: Reflection on: It is a reflection on the Chair for an l1on. member to sav that he is being prevented from finishing his remarks, 3190.

Chair, Disrespect: For bon. members to leave the Chamber, or to speak when Mr. Speaker rises to his feet, constitu.tes gross disrespect for the Chair, 3194, 342·0.

Debate: Anticipation of: Although the Premier had announced that certain legis­lation would be introduced, no notice of motion had been given to the House; therefore, Mr. Speaker could not rule that discussion of that legislation on a motion for adjotunment was anticipating debate on the bill, 3158.

Debate, Close of: A speech by the mover of a motion, upon an amendment to the motion, does not close the debate, 3159. .

Exhib·its: To display exhibits in th~ Chamber is a breach of privilege; it js allowable only with the indulgence of the House, 314.

Extension of Time: Extension of time, obs., 543.

Interjections: Continual interjection is contrary both to the Standing Orders and to practice, 157, 414, 437, 1378, 1433, 1600, 2617, 2713, 3412. It is the province of knowledge to speak, and of wisdom to listen, 264. An bon_ member should not base his speech upon another's interjection, 1981. An bon. member is entitled to be heard in silence, 2131, 2136, 2146, 2148, 2163, 2392, 3368, 3409, 3421.

An hon. member, wheri speaking, must refrain from answering interjections and must address his remarks to the Chair,

.361. If an bon. member desi1·es the protec-.

tion of the Chair against interjections, he must be careful in his choice of words, 1110.

Leave to Introd!uce, Motion: On a motion for leave to introduce a bill, bon. members may not discuss mat­ters that were not refened to by the Minister in moving for leave to introduce. 356, 358, 359, 363•, 365, 366, 368; but must confine their remarks to the motion, 532.

Ministerial Statements: If, in reply­ing to a question, a Minister dealt with a matter of Government policy, his utter­ances would become a ministerial state­ment, 1433.

SESSION 1947-48. XlJl.

23rd September, 1947, to 18th August, 1948.

ASSEMBLY (continued): SPEAKER, MR. (THE RoN. w. H. LAMB),

RULINGS, OBSERVATIONS AND 0PIN· IONS (continued):

The leader of the Opposition is customarily, but not always, allowed to reply brietly to a ministerial statement: th~;> privilege is, at times, extended to the leader of the Conntry party, but can­not be extendea to othc1' hon. members, 711.

Pal'liamentary Refreshment Room meal charges, obs., 2519.

Sound reinforcement system in Legis­lative Assembly Chamber, 3185, 3195.

Notice of Motion: Standing Orders 49 and llOA. When notice of a motion is given it is the01·etically on the business paper, though the latter may not have been printed. Mr. Speaker had no reason for believing that a motion of censure would not be dealt with by the House within a reasonable time. 2125. The period between lOth March and 6th April was not "a reason­able time" in the purposes of the Standing Order. 2126.

Pe1·so11al Explanation: An hon. mem­ber is not entitled to canvass a Minister's reply, or to debate it, by means of a personal explanation, 341. A personal explanation would allude to a a misstatement m·ade by the hon. member, to an omission, or to something else hing­ing on his original statement, 2114.

An hon. member may not supplement his speech or introduce entirely new ma,t­ter by means of a personal explanation, 2390.

A personal explanation may not be made by an hon. member in respect of a discussion in the Chamber in the course of which his name was not mentioned, 440.

A personal explanation may be made to ·assist the interpretation of a question without notice, but not as a request for a ruling, 2578.

In a personal explanation an hon. mem­ber may not reflect upon the character of another hon. member, 2580.

An hon. member may not reply to a personal explanation except by a personal explanation; in so doing, his remarks must be confined to the statements made insofar as they are deemed to be a mis­representation of facts, 2897, 3137.

Personal explanation allowed, 3419.

ASSEMBLY (continued) :

SPEAKER, MR. (THE RoN. W. H. LAMB), l~ULINGS, 0BSE'.RVA'l'ION;; AND 0PlN· IONS ( contin7bed) :

Point of OrdeT: "No point of order", 1432, 192<!, 2827' 3339.

A poi,p.t of order may not be taken merely to conect an alleged mis&ta te­ment or to ·answer an accttsation, 1947; or to enter into dis)Jute witu another hon. member, 1951.

Point of order taken facetiously, 1378. It is not out of ordei· for an bon.

member to say that another hon. member ''came into this rlouse accidimtally," 1670.

P1·emie1·: Under the esta blishcd prat­tice of the House, the leader of the Opposition, in common with tl1e Premier or a Minister in charge of a bill, may base his speech upon copious notes, 942.

W)lven sessional orders provide that general business shall take pn:cedence, no order of the day is read. '!'he Speaker is entitled to call the Premier at any time that he deems fit, 806.

'l'he Premier is entitled to make pas­sing reference to imputations made by an hon. m~;>mber, 818.

'l'he Premier is entitled to answer any matter in his own way provided he ob­serves the ordinary rules of debate, 2342, 2343.

An hon. member must accept an assur­ance given by the Premier that he would agree to a motion, 3677, though he may debate the motion, 3670.

Questions: '!'he decorum of the House, and courtesy, require that hon. members should observe silence during question time, 254, 766, ll08, 1290.

A supplementary question must be on thc same subject as the original ques­tion, 258. Question disallowed because it was similar to a number of previous ques­tions, 1946.

In reply to a question about a circular, a Minister is in order in referring to matters contained in it, 305.

Unless an hon. member ac-cepts respon­sibility for the authenticity of a state­ment in the press he may not ask a question based upon it, 2245.

The purpose of a question without notice is to elicit information-not to give it, 2246, 2303.

Hon. members should not ask lengthy que&tions without notice and Ministers should not make lengthy replies. Ques­tions and answers should both be as direct and epigrammatic as possible, 439, 440, 763. Questions should not be facetious, 1895; they should be couched in moderate language and not unduly ex­panded, 2195.

ASSEMBLY (continued.) :

SPEAKER MR. (THE HoN. W. H. LAMB), RuL~NGS OBSERVATIONS AND 0PIN­IC>NS ( c~ntinued) :

In asking a question· without notice, an hon. member may not make a state­ment to the House, 895, 1006.

A Minister's refusal to answer a que-s­tion without notice is not a matter that concerns the Chair, 895.

A question may not contai1_1 an imputa­tion such as that the Premier was pre­pared to allow men who are well-kno:vn to be a,ssociated with the Commurust })arty to leave Australia as. an author­ised representative, 798.

In a question without notice, an hon. member may not a~k a Minister to express an opinion, 522, 1464, 2672, 2891, 2971, 3135.

The word "squandered" should not be used in asking a question, 1806.

Time allowed for questions without notice, obs., 2581.

Question in regard to hon. member for South Coast and the Libe1·al Party, 3139.

A Minister may answer a question il1 any way he pleases, 1427, 2249, 3709.

If a Minister continued at length his reply to a question without notice Mr. Speaker would be compelled to rule that he was making a ministerial statement, 3189, 3190.

Questions are not in order that cast reflections upon or impute improper motives to any hon. member and thereby detract from the dignity and decency of the Chamber, 3194.

Relevancy of Debate: Debate must be relevant to the motion before the House, 1683, 1922, 1923, 2144, 2154, 2155, 2172, 2219, 2497, 2498, 2500, 2834, 3264, 3265, 3266, 3267.

An hon. member making the statement that the Commissioner of Police "was horribly shocked" should be in a position to tell the House that he had been in­formed by the Commissioner of Police that this was a fact, 3676.

Second-Reading Deba-te: In a second­reading speech the Minister may not take occasion to reply to a question without notice, but must confine his remarks to the bill itself, 444.

Details of a measure may not be dis­cusse-d in a second-reading debate; hon. members may discuss them in Committee, 459, 1057, 1109.

Matters referred to in debate on the second-reading of a bill must be 1·elevant to the bill or to the Minister's second. ·

In the second-reading debate on an amending bill providing for the appoint­ment of two additional trustees to the­Kosciusko State Park Trust, an hon. member was out of order in suggesting the particular persons who should be­appointed, 1240.

A member must not indulge in tedious repetition, 1110.

In a second-reading speech on a repeal bill, bon. members are not entitled t() traverse the history of the Act that the bill seeks to repeal, 1987.

An bon. member was out of order in re­ferring to the Minister for Conservatjon as: "Mr. Hamlet" or by any other title, 3291.

An bon. member should not take um­brage at facetious remar~s, 3410.

The term "snide lawyer" applied to an l1on. member would be unparliamentary~ 3419.

Special Adjournment: On a motion for­special adjournment of the House debate­must be confined to the matter of the adjournment to a specific date: it is out of order, for instance, to discuss controls~ 3157, 3158.

Imputation of improper motives pro­hibited by Standing 01·der 152, obs., 194 7~

UrgenC'IJ, JJ[otion: A point of order having been taken that the matter referreif to in a motion of urgency was Sltb ju(licc, Mr. Speaker, having· no assurance from the Premier or the Attorney-General that it was not sub judice, allowed the House­to determine the question of urgency; the

point of order to be giv€n fmther con­sideration if necessary when the substan­tive motion was before the House, 1889. · Hon. members bringing such matters before Parliament should make themselves cognisant of the facts before doing so, 1891. .

On a motion of urgency, debate is re· stricted to the matter of urgency, 807, 943, 2640, 3633, 3674, 3676.

The matter of urgency may not be clebated on a motion for the suspension of Standing and Sessional O~ders, 808, 809, 811. Debate must be confined to the mo.tion, 812, 813, 2640.

An ·han. member is entitled to bring before the House for discussion any mat­ter which is submitted in accordance with the practice of the House. . It is the responsibility of the House to decide whether he shall be permitted to do so as a matter of urgency, 2966.

The fact that parts· of the substantivE' motion involved are not in order, does not necessarily require the Speaker to rule out of order a related motion of urgency, 942.

In replying to a debate, an hon. mem­ber should not introduce matters to which no reference was made during the debate, 2454.
