Opposition absent from parliament as three Bills passed, blaming no-show on trickery from Government

LNP denounced as Australia's laziest Opposition after just a single member is present in State Parliament as three laws were passed.

THE LNP has been denounced as AustraliaÂ’s laziest Opposition after only one member was this afternoon present in State Parliament as laws were passed.

Premier Anna Bligh said the Opposition had failed their constituents during one of the most "embarrassing parliamentary performances" in Westminster history.

"They are not fit to sit on the opposing bench let alone fit to sit on the government bench," she said.

Ms Bligh said the LNP were "too lazy" to debate the Bills, adding: "The question is, where were they? What was more important?"

The House erupted as she moved a motion to censure the Opposition for failing the parliament.

It came after the passing of a criminal organisation amendment Bill, Commonwealth Games legislation and laws to change public holidays in Queensland.

Leader of the House Judy Spence said in her 22 years in parliament, she had never seen the Opposition absent during debate on three pieces of legislation.

There are 31 MPs in the Opposition. Most were present in the House earlier in the day for question time, but were missing for this session of Government business.

The LNP's Ted Sorenson was the sole Opposition member present in the House as the three laws were passed.

Several others were understood to file in later but no LNP member offered any debate during the proceedings.

Opposition leader Jeff Seeney accused the Government of indulging in deliberate trickery to "try and score some stupid political points".

He said the Government had told the Opposition that the Bills would only be introduced, not debated, and accused Ms Bligh of reverting to student union tricks.

"What we have is a trashing of this parliament for cheap political point scoring," he said.
