PARLIAMENT IS OFFICIALLY BACK
MPs are back in the capital after the summer break and the Government’s ready to pick up where it started late last year.
The House agenda is packed with maiden speeches this week, with a raft of National MPs ready to address Parliament for the first time.
Between speeches, they’ll squeeze in some lawmaking, including an urgent motion to let the Government start the process of scrapping the Productivity Commission.
