STATE ELECTRICITY COMMISSION AMENDMENT BILL 2023

Danny O’Brien: On a point of order, Acting Speaker, I seek your guidance, if I may. I would perhaps like to get this on the record. I understand I have already spoken on this in the cognate debate, but I would point out to the house that the member for Footscray was on her feet speaking on the cognate debate prior to the 5 o’clock guillotining of the Constitution Amendment (SEC) Bill 2023, and at the conclusion of the vote on that the member for Footscray was able to continue to speak on the current bill, the State Electricity Commission Amendment Bill 2023. I am seeking guidance as to why others of us are not afforded the same opportunity by the house to speak fully on both bills.

The ACTING SPEAKER (Daniela De Martino): The member for Footscray’s contribution was interrupted by the guillotine, and she was afforded the remainder of the time.
