Review of Standing Orders

Watch Question Time every (sitting) day? Don't like the way the House is run? It's your chance to say something about it! Parliament has just started its triennial review of Standing Orders and the Standing Orders Committee has called for submissions. If you're wondering what to put in yours, here's a few suggestions:

• Making Question Time permanent;
  
• Eliminating of the undemocratic financial veto;
  
• Removing the discriminatory opening prayer;
  
• Removing the House's Fiji-style power to punish us for criticising politicians.
  
• Adopting the Clerk's 2014 suggestions for e-petitions.
  

Submissions are due by Friday, 25 November 2016.
