Fresh opposition for this week's question time

From The House , 6:55 pm on 23 July 2020

Light-rail, infrastructure, and ministerial conduct were topics for questions asked by the recently appointed leader of the National Party Judith Collins and the deputy leader Gerry Brownlee.

 

Up to 12 oral questions can be asked of Ministers from any MPs with the whole event taking about an hour of the House’s time before it moves on to other debates. 

 

Questions might relate to news reports, a query from a member of the public, or an official information request. 

 

For newly appointed leader of the Opposition Judith Collins the topic of choice for her first question in the role was transport.
