Senate Notice Paper Publication
From the beginning of the 39th Parliament there will be changes to the
way in which the Senate Notice Paper will be published.
A daily Notice Paper will continue to be printed and distributed as before.
The daily Notice Paper lists new business, for example, new Questions
on Notice and Notices of Motion, and certain other categories of business
such as a full list of Government Business.
Until the last sitting day of the 38th Parliament the daily
version of the Notice Paper was also published on the web. The exPDBS
will not be available from 11 November 1998, but a full list of all business
before the Senate (the ‘full’ version of the Notice Paper) will
be available each day on the Parliament’s
web site in both pdf and html format. It is expected that an sgml
version will replace these formats from the autumn sittings in 1999.
A special edition of the Notice Paper will continue to be produced, printed
and distributed on Thursdays, but this will not include lists and brief
descriptions of unanswered questions on notice nor unresolved general
business notices or orders of the day. The full text of these items will
be available daily in the versions of the ‘full’ Notice Paper
on the parliamentary internet service. Business relating to government
documents, committee reports and government responses to committee reports
will continue to be included in the printed Thursday edition.
A ‘full’ Notice Paper will continue to be printed and distributed
thrice a year on the first day of each period of sittings.
