Topic: Prorogation


In the News (Fri 25 Dec 09)

  
  Prorogation - LoveToKnow 1911
PROROGATION, a postponement, specifically the termination without dissolution of a session of parliament by discontinuing the meetings until the next session.
A prorogation of parliament affects both houses, and thus differs from an "adjournment," which does not terminate the session and is effected by each house separately by resolution.
A prorogation is effected by the sovereign in person, or by commission.

 Parliament of Australia: Senate: Publications: Odgers' Guide to Australian Senate Practice - Eleventh Edition - Chapter ...
Prorogation, on the conventional interpretation, has the effect of terminating a session of Parliament until the date specified in the proclamation or until the Houses are summoned to meet again by the Governor-General, and of terminating all business pending before the Houses.
Thus the prorogation of 30 August 1998 rendered inoperative the order of the Senate of 12 July 1998 setting the time of subsequent meetings of the Senate as the order did not provide that the meetings were to occur in the event of a prorogation.
The generally accepted view is that a prorogation, as well as terminating a session and pending business, prevents the Houses of the Parliament meeting until they are summoned to meet by the Governor-General or they meet in accordance with the proclamation of prorogation.

 The World Today - Senate will sit to reopen children overboard inquiry
HARRY EVANS: There have been occasions in the past, I think, where the Prime Minister has announced the election timetable in advance and the prorogation of the Parliament and the dissolution of the House of Representatives takes place at a future point and the houses keep sitting up to that time to complete their business.
But to announce the prorogation in advance and then dispense with the scheduled sittings of the House of Reps, exactly how that's done I really don't know, and allow the sittings of the Senate to go on for a period up to the prorogation — that's not happened before.
