World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported32m ago
On the second day of Papua New Guinea's fourth parliamentary sitting of 2026, proceedings at the National Parliament House in Waigani were promptly adjourned to the next ringing of the bell due to a lack of quorum. The session, which had been scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m., faced delays as only five members were present in the chambers.
Ahead of the scheduled start time, crowds gathered outside the parliamentary grounds in Waigani. The absence of a sufficient number of lawmakers forced the immediate suspension of the day's legislative business.
