Opposition Leader Only MP On Time as Lack of Quorum Halts Parliament

Parliament in Papua New Guinea was forced to adjourn on its final sitting day of the week due to a lack of quorum. The brief suspension of proceedings highlighted an apparent issue with parliamentary attendance.

According to the report, the final day of Parliament's first sitting week concluded prematurely because not enough members were present to conduct business. This situation implies that several Members of Parliament (MPs) failed to arrive on time, preventing the necessary number of legislators from being in attendance.

The article suggests that the opposition leader was the only MP to arrive punctually, underscoring the broader issue of tardiness among other parliamentarians. The lack of quorum led to an immediate adjournment, cutting short the day's scheduled legislative activities.
