Address-in-Reply: The mover and seconder of the motion for the adoption of the Address-in-Reply should be heard in silence, in accordance with established practice, 47.

The insertion of a new clause must wait until all the clauses and schedule of a bill have· been dealt with, 2111.

Chair: An hon. member must not argue with or disobey the Chair, 945, 1315, 1507; and may not canvass a ruling, 1507.

No bon. member, irrespective of the posi­tion he holds in his party or in the Chamber, may trifle with the Chair, 1507, 2643.

SESSION 1958-59 xi

20th August, 1958, to 16th February, 1959

ASSEMBLY, LEGISLATIVE (continued):

DEPUTY SPEAKER AND CHAIRMAN OF CoM­MIITEES (GEORGE BOOTH, EsQ.), RUL­INGS, OBSERVATIONS AND OPINIONS (continued) :

Criticism of the preparation of the Open· ing Speech of His Excellency the Governor is not offensive, 203.

The shouting of "Hooray" is . undignified and unparliamentary, 350. -

A withdrawal and apology directed by the Chair must be unqualified, 1315.

An bon. member's speech is more con­vincing if he avoids indulging in personali­ties, 1316.

The assurance of a Minister that a state­ment is untrue must be accepted by an bon. member, 2089.

Interjections and Interruptions: An bon. member should be heard in silence, 47, 946, 1048, 1050, 1197, 1667, 2007, 2019, 2124, 2279.

Interjections are disorderly, 1050, 1197, 1387, 1486; especially frequent interjections designed to prevent an bon. member from putting his case, 1726.

The Leader of the Opposition has no special right consistently and persistently to interject when another hon. member is addressing the Chair, 376, 1193.

No bon. member may make a running fire of interjections. If he disagrees with an bon. member he may reply when given the call, 351, 1054.

A Minister should be allowed to make an important statement without continual inter­jections, 992.

The red light is a warning that an bon. member's time is almost exhausted and hon. members sho'llld not interject while it is showing,. 1098.

Parliament House: Hon. members' actiom outside Parliament have nothin!l to do with the proceedings of the House, 1316.

Personal Explanation: Lengthy explana­tion is unmual, 455.

Point of order, alleging deliberate mis­representation, dismissed, 351.

Points of Order: The Chair may make a decision on a point of order whenever he i~ able to do so, 1052.

An hon. member may not reply to a poin1 of order, 1319.

Complaint that a Minister is totally ignor­ing the speech of an hon. member is not a point of order, 1684.

Read Speeches: A fully prepared speech may not be read; if the practice grew the whole value of parliamentary debates would disappear, 1319.

Relevance: An hon. member must con­fine his remarks to the amendment before the Committee, 804, 2123, 2331, 2332, 2642. 2643; to the Budget in the budget debate,

ASSEMBLY, LEGISLATIVE (continued) :

DEPUTY SPEAKER AND CHAIRMAN OF CoM­MITTEES (GEORGE BOOTH, ESQ.), RUL­INGS, OBSERVATIONS AND OPINIONS (continued):

945, 948, 961, 1060; ·or to the motion or bill being debated, 1317, 2012, 2092, 2537.

In Committee an bon. member may not discuss a clause that has been dealt with, 2331.

In the budget debate, an bon. member · may not discuss a general business trans­action of an institution over which the Gov­ernment has no ministerial control, 945, 946, 1059; though he may discuss briefl\' the Government's administration in relation to that institution's . services where it acts as agent for the Government, 1061.

Equal latitude is allowed in the budget debate to all bon. members, 1004, 1191; who may deal at length with any item in the Budget, 1060; but not with a publication which is not referred to in the budget papers, 1132; nor any matter already decided in a previous session, 1192.

Reference to airlines, which provide com­petition for the Department of Railways, is appropriate in the budget debate, 992.

Transport and railways may be discussed in the debate on the Estimates under fonr distinct headings, and an hon. member dis­cussing them under one cannot do so under any other, 1264.

In Committee of Supply the greatest lafi­tude is given, 1264, 1949; but an bon. mem­ber must confine his remarks to the Estimate of the Department under consideration, 1488; and he may deal only with adminis­tration, 1296, 1389, 1486, 1487, 1505, 1507, 1508.

An bon. member is entitled to make at least some reply on behalf of his consti­tuents to remarks made on the adjournment or in any other debate, 1191.

Point of order on relevance dismissed, 1317.

Standing Orders: An bon. member is bound by standing order, 945.

Statements and Documents: A Minister or other bon. member who reads frnm a report should name the author, 990; and the quota­tion should be accurate. An assurance to this end by the bon. member is acceptable to the Chair, 2088.

Sub Judice: An bon. member may not deal with a matter that is sub judice, 1527.

Time Limit: In the budget debate, if no other bon. member seeks the call a Minister or other bon. member who has already spoken may speak. for a further period of ten minutes, 994, 1150, 1198.

DEPUTY SPEAKER AND CHAIRMAN OF CoM­MITTEES (GEORGE BOOTH, ESQ.), RUL­

·JNGS, OBSERVATIONS AND OPINIONS (continued) :

Parliamentary proceedings are not a foot­ball match and time is not taken off for interruptions: an hon. member cannot move for an extension of time merely because a number of interjections have been made, 1319.

Amendments: An hon. member who wishes to move a further amendment should wait until a prior amendment is dealt with, 108.

An amendment designed to refer a bill to a select committee may be moved on the motion for its second reading (S.O. 253), 664.

Chair: Hon. members should listen when Mr. Speaker is speaking, 646; and be prompt to call for a division if one is sought, 646.

.An hon. member may not defy or argue with the Chair, 1547, 2412, 2541, 2546; he may be named if he disobeys the Chair, 2105.

It is grossly disorderly for an hon. member to address the Chair when he has been directed to resume his seat, 2546.

Rulings of the Chair may not be can­vassed, 735, 1717, 2541, 2546; but the forms of the House provide a remedy for any hon. member who is dissatisfied with a ruling, 1276, 2546.

By practice and procedure, Mr. Speaker directs, never requests, 1547.

Debate: Mr. Speaker is bound by stand­ig orders to put the question when the gag is moved by the Government Whip, 843.

An bon. member may, with the unanimous consent of the House, withdraw his motion; or the question that the motion be with­drawn may be put, 1114.

Tedious repetition is not permitted, 1898. Debate on a bill at the second-reading

stage is restricted to principles; an bon. member who attempts to concern himself with all its details may be guilty of tedious repetition, 2179.

In debate on a motion for the dissallow­ance of regulations, the mover, though he has had an extension of ten minutes, may, in accordance with precedent, be heard again in reply, 609.

Dissent: A motion of dissent may be moved from a ruling given on a matter that is entirely within the discretion of the Chair, 1368.

When debate on a motion of dissent bas exceeded thirty minutes the Speaker may put the question (S.O. 161); or, at his discre­tion, he may allow the mover to reply, 1374. .

SESSION 1958-59 xiii

20th August, 1958, to 16th February, 1959

ASSEMBLY, LEGISLATIVE (continued):

SPEAKER, MR. (THE RoN. W. H. LAMB), RULINGS, OBSERVATIONS AND OPINIONS (continued):

Notice of intention to move a motion of dissent may be given immediately the ruling has been delivered, 2039; but not subse­quently in the same debate, 2547.

Hon. members removed from Chamber: Ron. member for Burwood, 2105; hon. mem­ber for Hawkesbury, 2143.

Hon. members warned: Ron. member for Barwon, 192, 2546; hon. member for Bur­wood, 1022, 2105; hon. member for Earl­wood, 190, 191, 343, 1022, 2144, 2226, 2339, 2340; hon. member for Gordon, 1107; hon. member for Gosford, 2407, 2417; hon. mem­ber for Hawkesbury, 512, 2143; hon. member for King, 1669; hon. member for South Coast, 2549; hon. member for Tamworth, 2031, 2032, 2034; hon. member for Temora, 2549; hon. member for Wollondilly, 1330, 2549.

Imputations, Aspersions and Offensive Re­marks: No hon. member may cast aspersions on another, 189, 1128; or impute dishonesty or improper motives to hom, 236, 780, 1022; or indulge in personalities, 1724.

A direct statement is no imputation, 780. An hon. member is entitled to express his

opinion, though he may not make a direct imputation, 1023.

A withdrawal directed by the Chair must be unqualified, 780.

It is offensive to suggest that a Minister's speech was wholly prepared by departmental officers or that he is not competent to pre­sent a bill; and an hon. member must not persist in remarks offensive to the Minis­ter about his handling of the bill, 1717.

An Opposition member may not, under the cloak of asking that a remark be with­drawn, offend every member on the Gov­ernment side by saying that he has grown up mentally and has left the Labor Party, 1724.

Interjections and Interruptions: All hon. members are entitled to be heard in silence, 62, 735, 736, 1662, 1668, 1857, 1863, 1896; especially an hon. member who has almost exhausted his time, 260.

Interjections are disorderly and a trans­gression of stand in~ orders, 1899, 2031, 2417. 2428; when several hon. members are shout­ing at the same time it is almost impossible for the Chair to follow the proceedings, 2505; every hon. member would be able to hear if the House remained reasonably quiet, 2144.

Interjections are not permitted while a Minister is answering a Question, 308, 338, 514, 599, 600, 602, 634, 1022; though reason­able and sensible interjections are unobjec­tionable, 1495; a Minister is most orderly in totally disregarding all interjections, 1562.

ASSEMBLY, LEGISLATIVE (continued):

SPEAKER, MR. (THE RoN. W. H. LAMB), RULINGS, OBSERVATIONS AND OPINIONS (continued) :

Hon. members should not indulge in con­versation and crossfire while a Minister is addressing the House, 1076; or indicate their attitude by interruptions when he is deliver­ing his second-reading speech on an impor­tant bill, 2339.

Ron. members may not jump to their feet and object to interjections, 372.

An hon. member may answer the remarks of another, not by interjections and uproar while that hon. member is speaking, but when he himself gets the call, 1662.

Interjections are most unusual when an hon. member is ventilating a grievance affecting his electorate on a motion for the adjournment of the House, 1857.

Interruptions when Mr. Speaker is on his feet are grossly insulting, 34.

Ministerial Statements: The Leader of the Opposition, in replying to a ministerial state­ment, must confine his remarks to the matter dealt with by the Minister, 735, 736.

Mr. Speaker may rule whether a Minister is making a ministerial statement, 1276.

A Minister's remarks when tabling a re­port, making reference to a previous minis­terial statement, are not necessarily a ministerial statement, 1370.

Parliament House: Public inspection on Open Day and film survey of Parliament, 978.

Personal Explanation: A Minister may make a personal explanation in the same way as any other hon. member; in doing so he should not cast aspersions upon an hon. member, 1128.

An hon. member must confine his remarks to his personal explanation, 1128; and he may not introduce matter that can be de­bated, 1815.

A personal explanation is made by the in­dulgence of the House, 1129; and may relate to a misrepresentation on the floor of the House by a Minister or another hon. mem­ber, 1022; but not to misrepresentation by someone outside Parliament, 1815.

Press: It is not in order to ask merely whether, a newspaper statement is true, though attention may be drawn to it pro­vided the hon. member accepts responsibility for its accuracy, 1676, 1735.

Reference may be made to the title of a newspaper report though its contents may not be quoted, 1864.

The press has no representation on the floor of the House and cannot be allowed to run Parliament, 1866.

Volumes 24-26

ASSEMBLY, LEGISLATIVE (continued):

SPEAKER, MR. (THE HON. W. H. LAMB), RULINGS, OBSERVATIONS AND OPINIONS (continued) :

No question seeking confirmation of rumours or press reports is permitted; and no hon. member may quote from newspaper articles when the challenge is to their accu­racy, 1866; though a Minister is entitled to quote from any newspaper when deliver­ing a second-reading speech, 2031, 2033.

An hon. ·member who had not made a statement appearing in the press could reasonably be expected to deny it when challenged in the House, 1021.

Questions without Notice: A supplemen­tary question must relate to the previous question, 1221, 1738, 1809, 1860; may be P.laced on the Questions and Answers paper If the Minister has asked that the previous question be so placed, 1675; and does not call for a further reply if already answered in the Minister's reply to the preceding question, 818.

A second supplementary question may hot be asked on the one subject, 104.

Questions without notice are asked to seek information, 1364; they should not them­selves contain personal or other information, 157, 1366, 1440, 2146; or commrnt or ex­planation, 631, 1024, 1361, 1364, 1366, 1928, 21~5! 2223, 2226 2502, 2504; or seek an opm10n, 2504.

All questions without notice are addressed through the Chair, 1020.

Questions should begin with the phrase "Is it a fact", 2147, 2226, 2383; to ask a Minister whether he is aware of a thino is giving, not seeking, information, 1268. "'

Questions without notice may not be asked on a matter upon which a debate has been initiated by the moving of a motion, 1079.

Questions without notice must relate to the administration of the Minister to whom they are addressed, 2507; and the Minister may answer in his own way, 514, 602, 2319; hon. members have no right to interject in an attempt to answer the question them­selves, 514, 599, 1490, 1740. ·

At question time persistent interjections give rise to debate, 602, 2223,, 2227· and repeated stupid interjections are not f~ir to ~ther hon. members who want to ask ques­tions before question time has expired, 1551.

Questions without notice should be straightforwa~d and !iS brief as possible, ~140; ~ery wide questions or those contain­Ing many statistics should be put on the Questions and Answers paper 981 1545 1547. ' ' '

ASSEMBLY, LEGISLATIVE (continued):

SPEAKER, MR. (THE HON. w. H. LAMB), RULINGS, OBSERVATIONS AND OPINIONS (continued) :

Relevance: An hon. member must con­fine his remarks to matters relevant to the motion before the House 583 584 1368 1369, 1370, 2023, 2541 2545 '2546.' or t~ the bill under consid~ration: nti, 1896, 1902, 2038, 2239, 2412; though slight depar­tures from relevancy may be allowed when an hon. member wants to make a point 1897. '

An hon. member may not refer in the same debate to what another hon. member· was. prevented from discussing on the ground of urelevancy, 584.

In debate on a motion for the acquisition ?f estates for closer settlement certain scope IS .aiJowe~ by standing orders, 2547; and the M.1~1~ter m reply may briefly refer to the c~ItiCISm levelled during the debate against hiiU ~nd the Government, 2548.

Pomt of order, on relevancy dismissed 2542. ' '

Statements and Documents: An hon. mem­ber may not read from a letter unless he nam~s the writer, 464; or quofe from some­body·s pay envelope unless he names the per­son and gives the origin of the document to establish its authenticity; if he wishes to quote .a specific instance he must give his authonty, 2411; an hon. member in giving an assurance on the authenticity of a docu­ment from which he is quoting must observe the rel~vant practices and procedures, 2412. Ta~lmg of Papers: Hon. members shn11ld
