A departure from usual Question Time protocol means that only 11 primary questions will be asked in the House this afternoon, rather than the usual 12.
The Green Party, which usually allocates its questions to National, says its offer has been rejected today for the first time.
"Today the Green Party offered, as per our long-standing policy, our question to the Leader of the Opposition. They have chosen to not use this opportunity today," Greens co-leader James Shaw said.
The Greens are not technically in government and are "confidence and supply" partners to the Labour/NZ First Coalition Government.
This means they are able to ask questions in Question Time but in March last year, they instead opted to give their questions to National.
