• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: When the directions were given by the Speaker, it is the same Speaker who should have facilitated the possibility of a committee travelling within three days. Instead of bashing the committees, we have come to give directions on how the staff were going to implement that, having orders given on Thursday.
