In the fuss over Dr. Brown’s celebrity hunting safari to South Africa, the Sergeant of Arms of the House today announced that the Premier has attended 22 of the 27 meetings this session. And Jamahl came out with some pointless vituperation. He may make think he’s scored some points, but in reality he’s just hammering home the PLP’s reputation for petty nastiness.
On the point of parliamentary attendance, it is worth noting that if an MP checks into the House at any time, even if they only stay briefly, their attendance is recorded as if they were there all day. A more telling statistic would be MPs’ participation in votes in the House.
UPDATE: If I had an employee who was proud of only showing up to work 81% of the time, I’d fire him.
