There was major shortages of senior members while the parliament was in session today.

Mia Davies, State Opposition leader told Oliver Peterson on Perth Live that the Premier, Deputy Premier, Minister for Energy and the Minister for Emergency Services were all in absence.

“I’ll remind your listeners that we are still in a ‘state of emergency.’ I was going to ask the Premier how can we still be in a state of emergency when they’re not behaving in a way that suggests that we are and need to remain in one.”

“I think it’s just arrogant to treat the Parliament in that way when you don’t turn up for question time in particular.”

Press PLAY to hear why Mia found this to be unacceptable
