Disability Action and Inclusion Plans (DAIPs). DAIPs outline an agency’s commitment to take action to improve inclusion in their facilities and services, including the provision of Auslan interpreting where it is necessary and appropriate.
The Government welcomes the referral of this petition to the Standing Committee on Education and Community Inclusion, and the potential consideration by the Committee of the issues raised by the Canberra Deaf community.

Statement by chair
MS BURCH (Brindabella) (10.04): Pursuant to standing order 246A, I wish to make a statement on behalf of the Standing Committee on Administration and Procedure in response to the resolution of the Assembly of 16 September 2021, which referred a proposed amendment to standing order 113A relating to question time to the committee for its consideration. The committee has discussed the proposed amendment, which would change how questions without notice are asked by the opposition. Instead of each member asking an individual question, the proposed amendment would allow the opposition as a group to ask up to nine principal questions.
The proposed amendment was again discussed in the Assembly on 5 April this year in a suspension of standing orders debate. The committee has determined that consideration of the amendment be included in the major review of all standing orders, which will commence in mid-2022 in accordance with the committee’s terms of reference.
MR HANSON (Murrumbidgee) (10.05): I seek leave to make a brief statement in response.
Leave granted.
