29th Nov 2018, 9:42 AM – Senate Business - Days and Hours of Meeting - Changing the schedule
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of an amendment introduced by Victorian Senator Jacinta Collins (Labor), who explained that it:
seeks to omit the sitting week proposed for Monday, 15 April to Thursday, 18 April and substitute two new sitting weeks from Tuesday, 28 May to Thursday, 30 May and Monday, 3 June to Thursday, 6 June 2019. It also omits the sitting day scheduled for Thursday, 4 April 2018, essentially to mirror arrangements that were put in place in 2016 to ensure that there was some budget accountability in advance of the election on that occasion.
