Legislative Assembly Meeting Times

Procedure and Privileges Committee (2005 - 2008)· 17 June 2004general_report

This 2004 WA parliamentary committee report recommends changing the Legislative Assembly's Thursday meeting start time from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. The Procedure and Privileges Committee reviewed sitting hours following changes to Legislative Council meeting times, but decided against adopting similar times due to concerns about pressure on Legislative Assembly members.

Impact

The change aims to allow metropolitan members to visit their electorate offices and conduct meetings before attending parliament on Thursdays. It also acknowledges the pressure on Legislative Assembly members' time due to their higher public profile compared to Legislative Council members.
