Opposition MPs accuse Govt. of refusing debate and not acting on Met. and Irrigation Department warnings issued on 12 Nov.
-
OPPOSITION lawmakers yesterday staged a walkout accusing the Government of refusing to allow a formal discussion on the policy response needed to manage the unfolding disaster caused by Cyclone Ditwah which left over 350 dead, 360 missing and 1.1 million people affected by landslides and flooding.
The MPs said they would rather assist affected communities than sit through proceedings that, in their view, avoided the central issue of the crisis.
