Surprisingly this didn’t get announced yesterday – on a government holiday – along with the news Hisself had returned to work.
The House of Assembly will open with a Throne speech next Monday, March 22. That’s two weeks late.
If past speeches are any guide, this one will be a truly mind-numbingly hideous piece of verbal diarrhoea.
No mention of what happened to the old session which was adjourned before Christmas but not ended. Normally the House would meet and conclude the old session. Maybe the word normally used for that – prorogue – is not in fashion among Conservatives any more.
Anyway, the finance minister will deliver a new budget a week after that, Monday March 29.
