Points of Order — Gordon Copeland— Resignation from United Future
Time unknown
I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. You will be aware of media reports that Gordon Copeland intends to resign this afternoon from United Future. That means that the governing coalition will then command only 59 votes in the House unless it negotiates arrangements with Mr Copeland or with the Greens. In the light of that important change in the balance of voting in the House, I seek leave to ask the Prime Minister an urgent question.
💬 Madam SPEAKER: Leave is sought. Is there any objection? There is no objection.
