I AM writing in response to an article in your newspaper regarding the sitting schedule of Parliament and comments made by Wendy Lovell.

With no warning, the Liberal Party sprung a surprise motion on the Parliament at 9.28am on Thursday for debate (just two minutes later) at 9.30am. The Liberal Party had multiple opportunities throughout the week, as well as previous weeks and months, to raise this matter for discussion and consideration, and they did not do so.
