Deferment of Parliament sittings

The Business Committee met this afternoon and has unanimously approved that
the Parliamentary business scheduled for 12 to 16 June 2023 be deferred until
further notice.

This deferment is to allow the Coalition Government to ensure the efficient and
effective preparation of the 2023-2024 National Budget, before it is tabled in
Parliament.
