2009 DAYLIGHT SAVING REFERENDUM
1578. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the Leader of the House
representing the Premier:
I refer to the referendum held on 16
May 2009, in which electors were asked if they were in favour of daylight
saving being introduced in Western Australia. Will the Premier reveal how he
voted in that referendum?
The PRESIDENT : Honourable
member, standing order 104(a) provides the scope for the range of questions
that may be asked. Asking a member of Parliament how they voted in a referendum
is a personal question. Therefore, it does not fall within the scope of
questions relating to public affairs, in particular, or the minister's
portfolio. In the interests of providing the Premier with an opportunity to
respond to your question, I will ask the Leader of the House whether she has an
answer, but do not anticipate one.

Thank
you, President. I do have an answer, and it refers to the standing order that
you have just drawn the honourable member's attention to. I will
table it, but that is what it says.
