Christopher Pyne (Sturt, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Education, Apprenticeships and Training) Share this | Hansard source

I refer you to the ‘Agreement for a better parliament—parliamentary reform’ that I signed with the Leader of the House and the Independents on 6 September 2010, and the section which says, with respect to matters of public importance:

A proportionate share of Matters of Public Importance be allocated to all non-Government Members.

I refer you to your decision to, in fact, award the MPI today to the member for Chifley, who is a government member. I simply ask you: will the agreement for a better parliament not be honoured?
