The Papua New Guinea parliament is sitting from today and top of the agenda is again the plan by the opposition to try and remove the Prime Minister James Marape.

A series of efforts by the opposition to bring a vote of no confidence so far this year have come to nothing and Mr Marape says he has the numbers to avoid removal.
