A
Member of Parliament (MP) is person elected to the House of Representatives. A
member of Parliament may be elected to represent an electoral district or may be
from a political party’s list.
You will have two MPs
in your local electorate: one elected and one from the party list. They might
not be from the same party, nor be a part of the sitting Government.
However their primary role is to help residents, and each MP will be open to
being approached by you.
How can they help?
In four main ways:
1) Listening and
providing advice. MPs are skilled communicators. Sometimes all you
might need is a sympathetic ear to hear you out. Talking about your
problems to someone else can help you come up with solutions.
2) Making a
representation on your behalf to the Council. An MP may choose to write or
telephone a local Councillor or even the Mayor, to help explain your problem and
seek a speedy solution.
3) Making a question
in the House for oral answer. In Parliament there is a question time, this
is part of general business dealt with by the House each sitting day when
members ask oral questions of Ministers, chairpersons of select committees, and
other members about matters for which they are responsible. Note MPs who are
part of the Government may not make oral questions in the House.
4) Making a question
in the House questions for written answer. These are questions lodged by
any MP for Ministers to answer in writing, which must relate to matters for
which the Ministers are responsible. Replies must be provided within 6 working
days. Questions and replies are published on the Parliament website.
See the list of MPs
below. They will also be listed in your Yellow Pages, or you can visit the
official Parliament website for a list of telephone numbers
