Procedure and Privileges Committee (Council)· 15 August 2023general_report
The WA Legislative Council's Procedure and Privileges Committee recommends amending Standing Order 5 to move Tuesday sittings one hour earlier, starting at 1:00 PM and adjourning at 9:25 PM. This change aims to improve work-life balance for members and staff without reducing sitting time. The committee found no adverse impacts on Council business.
Impact
Members of the Legislative Council, parliamentary staff, and potentially their families will be affected by the change in sitting hours. The change is intended to improve work-life balance.
