15 September 2016 Adjournment – Business of the House Mr WALSH (Murray Plains) – I rise to support the manager of opposition business in his opposition to the adjournment of the house.

14 September 2016 Legislative Council vacancy Mr WALSH (Murray Plains) – I rise to speak on the amendment of the manager of opposition business that this motion be dealt with immediately.

Tuesday 16 August 2016 Background The Government has refused to hold a joint sitting of parliament to swear in the new Member for Northern Victoria Luke O’Sullivan. The Government said it would not hold a joint sitting until Gavin Jennings was allowed back into the house. But Legislative Council President Bruce Atkinson said the Government’s…
