Sue Hickey, Speaker of the House of Assembly & Liberal Member for Clark

Statement from the Speaker

As I’ve indicated very clearly to the House previously, I have guaranteed support for a Majority Liberal Government for the term of this Parliament on matters of supply and confidence. That remains the case.

I also indicated at the outset that on all other matters, I will always consider my position on legislation on the merits of the argument, which is what I did yesterday.

Nothing has changed with my position. The Liberal Government was elected with a mandate to deliver on its plan, and I have voted with the Government on every piece of legislation in its plan to deliver on its agenda.

Whilst I may have disagreed with the Government on the social issue debated yesterday, my guarantee on supply and confidence remains in place, and there is no minority government.
