The House of Representatives’ debate on the 2027 Budget Bill continued until 2.09am today, September 10, amid opposition accusations that the government was deliberately prolonging the session to avoid scrutiny of the Election Commission (EC) and the Senate election collusion case.
Opposition MPs repeatedly called for quorum checks, resulting in heated exchanges between government and opposition lawmakers. The two sides eventually reached a compromise, with the opposition given six hours to debate the budget.
