6. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Public transport in rural areas (26 Jan 2022)

But of course, as you pointed to, governments can only operate effectively if they are stable and focused purely on serving the public good. It's been disturbing to read about the parties, the lockdown law breaking, and the Prime Minister's...
