Policy debate a litmus testA major showdown looks set to take place between the government and the opposition as Parliament begins its policy debate later today. Parliament has allocated 32 hours and 30 minutes for the two-day debate. The opposition will have 14 hours and 30 minutes to scrutinise the government's policy framework, while government MPs will have five hours and 30 minutes, and the Senate four hours. The debate will serve as the first major test for the Anutin administration. Attention will also be on House Speaker Sophon Zaram, who is expected to ensure a constructive and orderly debate, avoiding the disruptions seen in previous sessions.
