Some folks want to do something:
Independent MP Bob Katter has threatened to join with Labor and Greens to convene parliament without the Coalition next week, after the Turnbull government postponed the sitting of the House of Representatives.
The government has rescheduled the final sitting weeks of parliament, saying it wants to ensure it can legalise same sex marriage before Christmas and allow the House and the Senate to “do all they can to resolve the citizenship issue”.
Government Leader in the House of Representatives Christopher Pyne made the announcement this morning, confirming next week will be a Senate only sitting week, with the House of Representatives resuming at 10am on December 4, and not November 27, as previously scheduled.
Amid threats from Coalition MPs to cross the floor over a banking inquiry, Mr Pyne denied that the decision would pave the way for Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce to be present the next time the House of Representatives sits, if he is successful in the by-election for his northern NSW seat of New England on December 2.
Mr Katter said parliament would sit next Monday whether the government was there or not.
“Parliament will sit on Monday whether it sits on the garden lawn or whether it sits in a building,” he said.
The sooner we are free of this inviso-PM the better.
