Parliament 2021

One of the major topics to be discussed during this session of Parliament is the electoral boundaries review.

More than three provinces have submitted proposals to the Electoral Boundaries Commission for the review.

One of provinces is West New Britain, which proposes to split the Talasea District to have a new electorate.

With Parliament to make the final approval.

Opposition leader Belden Namah told this newsroom that the Government deliberately adjourned Parliament into the 12 months grace period before the next election effectively, to avoid the Vote of No Confidence.

Namah argued that this adjournment means that the 63 days constitutional sitting requirement will be badly breached.

“This is a serious constitutional breach,” Namah said.

He said the Controller nor Parliament has the right to breach that.
