Hi All,
I don't know the rules here.
I heard that the speaker doesn't go to party meetings and doesn't vote.
So he would get not blame from his electorate, for wrong vote on a policy.
So as a speaker, he would not be an Independent,for he is passing his vote to Labor by freeing up another Labor or green member to vote.
Were as I believe the opposition have to supply a Deputy Speaker who also can't vote.
He is playing it safe by being Speaker.
Have I got this right.
cheers,
sypaladin
