Official business papers of the House:
-
Notice Paper – a list of motions and bills to be considered by the House, including matters which members intend to raise (notices of motions) and matters which are already under consideration (orders of the day).
-
Minutes – the official record of proceedings of the Legislative Council. The Minutes record what motions were moved, the progress of bills, and how members voted in divisions.
-
Hansard – a record of what was said in the House. It is not a verbatim record, as repetitions and redundancies may be omitted and obvious mistakes corrected.
- Questions on Notice – contains written questions to Ministers and the answers given. A Questions and Answers Paper is published each day, which records all questions on notice and answers received.
-
Disallowable Instruments - a list of recently proclaimed regulations and other statutory instruments that the House may disallow.
The Legislative Council also publishes the Running Record which is a real-time record of proceedings of the Legislative Council. It is updated during the course of the sitting day and shows the progress of legislation, results of motions and other business conducted. The Running Record also contains useful links to bills, tabled papers and notices of motions given that day. The Running Record is a guide only and is not the official record of proceedings.House business papers contact detailsPhone: 9230 2431 [email protected]
