Opposition challenge PM to test numbers on floor of parliament

In a media conference this morning Opposition deputy leader Sam Basil make this call after the Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare denied that he had seconded the Opposition's latest no-confidence motion against O'Neill.

“If O'Neill claims that he has the numbers, all he needs to do is accept the motion and we test it on the floor,” Basil said.

He said once the Opposition is ‘flat out’ on the floor, by that process than the Opposition will accept that.

Basil claimed that the MPS are just pretending to be with the government.
