REPORT

These Standing Order amendments are the final changes required to fully implement the historic reforms which the Assembly has adopted to its composition and the election process. They address the practicalities in applying those changes such as the order members will be called for the roll call and how Members will be addressed within the Chamber. They also remove the word Senator' from those remaining Standing Orders where it was necessary to maintain reference to that position until the end of the existing term of office.
