Question resolved in the affirmative.
Administration and Procedure—Standing Committee
Report 15
MS J BURCH (Brindabella) (10.13): I present the following report:
Administration and Procedure—Standing Committee—Report 15—Additional amendments to the Standing Orders, dated 19 August 2019, together with a copy of the extracts of the relevant minutes of proceedings.
MS CHEYNE (Ginninderra) (10.13), by leave: I move:
That the report be adopted.
Very briefly, this report has been discussed with all party rooms. It has recommendations to amend a few different parts of our standing orders, particularly relating to where there might be matters of privilege arising in relation to committee inquiries and giving the committee where that matter of privilege arose a bit more power in trying to sort it out for themselves first. It also deals with some unintended consequences of amendments that we made at the end of last year. I commend the report to the chamber.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Environment and Transport and City Services—Standing Committee
Report 9
MS ORR (Yerrabi) (10.14): I present the following report:
Environment and Transport and City Services—Standing Committee—Report 9—Inquiry into a Territory Coat of Arms, dated 19 August 2019, together with a copy of the extracts of the relevant minutes of proceedings.
I move:
That the report be noted.
This is the ninth report of the Standing Committee on Environment and Transport and City Services. On 29 November 2018, the committee commenced an inquiry into a territory coat of arms. The committee received 68 submissions and heard from 12 witnesses during a public hearing. The report makes five recommendations, including that the ACT government clarify the legal standing of the city of Canberra
