THE Home Affairs Committee is to face a vote of no confidence.

They will be the third to do so, after similar motions were proposed against Housing and Environment and Public Services.The move by Deputy Bob Hill increases the sense of disarray in the States and Policy and Resources president Senator Frank Walker this morning slammed the move as ‘utterly irresponsible’.'This brings the States into further disrepute.
