Cr Cassidy requests to suspend standing orders so he can move an urgency motion asking the Lord Mayor to explain why the LNP is cutting $500 million from the budget. He justifies it as an urgency motion (rather than being put on the notice paper) because there was an amended notice paper at 4pm yesterday, and he was saying he thought the Lord Mayor might put it on the notice paper himself.
The thing he wants to debate is laudable, but the idea that it qualifies as an urgency motion is ridiculous.
It fails, and he immediately tries again, this time asking the Lord Mayor to provide an itemised list of what will be cut. That fails too.
