Rejected petition Hold a Vote of No Confidence in the current serving Government.

As a fundamental principle of the Constitution, Government must retain confidence of the Legislature; sovereignty is awarded to the Government in assurance that public needs are met.

As representatives it is the duty of the Legislature to fulfil the sentiment prescribed here by the Electorate.

More details

The gross ineptitude of the current government has been laid bare by a prolonged trend which has been exasperated by recent events.

Clear contempt for Policy and Legislation has been demonstrated, abandoning any concept of due diligence, respect for convention or ethical practice.

The mismanagement demonstrated by the current government can only be described as sheer complacency and would be remiss if this was not addressed directly with those held accountable.
