立法會委員會紀錄不再列出議員名字 記協促回復以住做法
Ming Pao reported today that the Legislative Council Secretariat has introduced a new arrangement for recording meetings, under which the names of members speaking at committee meetings will no longer be listed during the current term. Instead, they will be identified as “a member”. For members of the public wishing to review the remarks of individual legislators or officials, the Secretariat will instead specify the time markers for the speakers. The Hong Kong Journalists Association criticised the arrangement in a statement, saying it would not help the public grasp the key points of committee discussions and would hinder their understanding of the work of Legislative Council members. It urged the Secretariat to return to its previous practice.
《明報》今日報導，立法會秘書處有新安排，今屆起改變會議紀錄的方式，今後不會列出委員會的發言議員的名字，只會以「一名議員」代替，公眾如欲翻看個別議員或官員發言，秘書處改為列明發言者的標記時間。記協發聲明批評，新安排未能方便公眾掌握會議的討論要點，窒礙市民理解立法會議員的工作，促請立法會秘書處回復以往做法。

陳穎欣倡設愛國電影資助計劃 去年曾拍片轟《正義迴廊》矮化警隊
Chan Wing-shan, a Legislative Council member of the Federation of Trade Unions, has recently taken an active interest in Hong Kong cinema. In a written question to the Legislative Council, she asked whether the Film Production Financing Scheme under the Film Development Fund had approved films containing elements of patriotism and modern Chinese history, whether “patriotism and history education” would be introduced as assessment criteria, and whether a new funding scheme would be established for this purpose. The Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau did not directly respond on whether a new scheme would be created, but said it welcomed applications to the fund from people interested in producing content related to patriotism and the country’s history and culture. Last year, Chan made a video criticising The Sparring Partner for belittling the police force, and also criticised it for failing to acknowledge the government, which had provided funding.
工聯會立法會議員陳穎欣近日「積極關注」香港電影，她在立法會提出書面質詢，關注現時電影發展基金轄下電影製作融資計劃是否曾批核含愛國主義及中國近現代史元素的電影、有否引入「愛國主義和歷史教育」為評審準則，以及會否考慮為此特設新資助計劃。文體局未正面回應會否新設計劃，但指歡迎有意製作有關愛國主義和國家歷史文化內容的人士，向基金提出申請。陳穎欣去年曾拍片轟《正義迴廊》矮化警隊，又轟未鳴謝有份資助的政府。

葉劉去信立會要求Google親解國歌搜尋問題 如拒絕或用特權法傳召
Overseas sporting events have repeatedly mistakenly played the 2019 anti-extradition bill protest song “Glory to Hong Kong” as Hong Kong’s national anthem. Google has also recently rejected the HKSAR Government’s request to change the display order of national anthem search results and pin the correct anthem at the top. Regina Ip, Convenor of the Executive Council and a New People’s Party Legislative Council member, said she had written to request that three LegCo committees hold a joint special meeting and require a senior Google representative to attend and explain the matter. If Google refused to attend, she said the Legislative Council should consider using its statutory power under the Legislative Council (Powers and Privileges) Ordinance (Cap. 382) to summon it.
海外體育賽事接連將2019年反修例歌曲《願榮光歸香港》錯誤當作香港國歌播放，Google公司近日亦已拒絕特區政府修改國歌搜索結果展示次序，以及將正確的國歌置頂的要求。行會召集人、新民黨立法會議員葉劉淑儀表示，已去信要求立法會三個委員會召開聯席特別會議，要求Google派高層代表出席解釋，假如對方拒絕出席，認為立法會應考慮使用《立法會（權力及特權）條例》(第382章)內的法定權力傳召。

自由黨點名郭卓堅涉濫用公屋 張宇人倡設「線人費」鼓勵舉報鄰居
Ta Kung Pao recently reported on its front page that Kwok Cheuk-kin, known as the “King of Cheung Chau judicial reviews”, was suspected of occupying a public-housing flat in Yau Tong and abusing public-housing resources. At a Legislative Council committee meeting, Liberal Party lawmaker Lee Chun-keung named Kwok and asked how the authorities would follow up. Liberal Party chairman Tommy Cheung also suggested that the authorities could in future emulate the police’s “informant fees” to encourage neighbours to report one another, thereby eliminating abuse. Secretary for Housing Winnie Ho said every complaint case would be “seriously handled and seriously investigated”; the relevant departments had obtained “key information” and “good material”, and had also “talked things through and reached an understanding” with the other party.

曾斥廢免針紙專橫兒戲 遭吳秋北不點名批「猴戲」 江玉歡稱保留追究權利
The Government previously invalidated more than 20,000 vaccine exemption certificates issued by seven doctors, prompting Election Committee constituency legislator Kong Yuk-wan to condemn the move as lacking a legal basis and being arbitrary and childish. Stanley Ng, a Legislative Council member of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions and an Executive Council member, posted on social media yesterday, criticising an unnamed legislator for seeking attention and putting on a “monkey show”. Kong reposted Ng’s post last night and hit back, saying “anyone with eyes can tell” it was criticism directed at her. She said she had merely reflected public opinion and asked, “As a legislator, does speaking up for the public on livelihood issues make one a ‘monkey’?” Kong, a lawyer, also said she reserved the right to take action over the “defamatory false accusations”.
政府早前廢除7名醫生發出的逾2萬張針紙，遭選委會界別立法會議員江玉歡炮轟法例沒有賦權、做法專橫和兒戲。工聯會立法會議員兼行政會議成員吳秋北昨於社交平台發文，不點名批評有議員「嘩眾取寵」、做「猴戲」。江玉歡晚上轉載吳的文章反擊，指「明眼人也知道是對本人的批評」，並指自己只是如實反映市民意見，反問「難道作為一個議員，為民在民生事項發聲就是『猴子』？」作為律師的她亦指，會對此「誹謗式的不實指控」保留追究權利。

田北辰「領紅」被逐會議廳 場外怒斥主席張宇人掗拃
Although the “improved” Legislative Council has no opposition camp, a heated scene still occurred when a lawmaker was expelled. At a meeting of the Legislative Council’s Panel on Health Services, Michael Tien of Roundtable interrupted Secretary for Health Lo Chung-mau while he was speaking.

A verbal altercation lasting more than three minutes followed, ending with Tien being expelled from the chamber.

民主派無法協調副主席人選 大埔區議會四度流會
The Tai Po District Council meeting scheduled for today (September 6) was adjourned again. Council chairperson Patrick Ka Chun Mo told InMedia that the two district councillors intending to stand for election were Chun Ho Au and Ben Yi Pui Tam, and that he would work to help them reach a consensus.
Ben Yi Pui Tam told InMedia that he had sought nomination votes from the pro-democracy camp, but only Wai Lam Ho nominated him. He said Chun Ho Au had sought his nomination support, but that negotiations had been unsuccessful. Ben Yi Pui Tam said, “I won’t go into the reasons in detail. In short, the negotiations were unsuccessful,” but added that he would continue to work with other colleagues to deal with livelihood issues in future, saying, “There is a regret now.” InMedia also called Chun Ho Au, but the call could not be connected.
原定今日（9月6日）舉行的大埔區議會，再次宣告流會。區議會主席毛家俊向《獨媒》表示，兩名有意參選的區議員為區鎮濠與譚爾培，自己會努力協助其達成共識。
譚爾培向《獨媒》表示，曾向民主派爭取提名票，惟只有何偉霖提名他。他稱區鎮濠曾向他爭取提名，但指協商不成功。譚爾培稱「個原因我唔詳細講啦，總之就協商不成功」，但指未來自己仍然會與其他同事合作，處理民生問題，「宜家有個遺憾啦」。《獨媒》亦曾致電區鎮濠，惟其電話一直未能接通。

無人獲足夠提名 東區區議會主席勢續懸空
Following a wave of resignations sparked by district councillors’ oath-taking last year, and the disqualification of councillors who failed to take their oaths, both the chair and vice-chair positions of the Eastern District Council are vacant. The pro-democracy and pro-establishment camps, which each hold three seats, have been unable to independently nominate a chair candidate from their respective camp. The council will hold another meeting on Tuesday (6th). Councillors from both camps said there had been no new developments, and the meeting is expected to be adjourned for the sixth time without electing a chair or vice-chair.
自去年區議員宣誓引發的辭職潮，以及區議員因宣誓失敗被DQ後，東區區議會正副主席同告出缺，各佔3席的民主派及建制派未能自行提名屬該黨派的主席人選。東區區議會周二（6日）將再舉行大會，有民主派及建制派議員皆表示沒有新進展，料會議將第六度流會，未能選出正副主席。
