    Obviously, previous sitting calendars amount to diddly squat once an election is called. But, it appears the deficit in sitting days happened pre-election, when the Coalition was criticised for scheduling few days before the election HAD to be called (6/6)

    Paul Fletcher says the number of sitting days for 2022 "will be just 40." "This is a dramatic drop from 67 in 2021 and 58 in 2020." "Even across the three previous election years – 2013, 2016 and 2019 – the average number of sitting days was 48." (5/6)

    Applying that 30 day rule, it appears Labor only has 2 fewer sitting days post June 28. The Coalition would have had 34 had it kept the same calendar, and won the election. The ALP has proposed 32. (4/6)

    Fletcher's press release this afternoon says: "Parliament must be reconvened within 30 days of the return of the writs." "The latest day for return of the writs is 28 June – and Labor is just scraping in within the 30 day period by reconvening Parliament on 26 July." (3/6)

    Here's the previous sitting calendar, as set out by the Coalition. Note, it went far beyond the election date of May 21 - which was the last possible polling day (2/6)
