Vote of no confidence

Vote of no confidence to be held today in Niue

The Rock's four-day working week and a $2 million budget deficit are among concerns behind the motion.

Five opposition MPs say their concerns around essential services have fallen on deaf ears with the lengthy absences of Premier Talagi on medical grounds.

Opposition MP Terry Coe says he understands the Premier's health is not the best, but it's affecting the running of the country.

Kilman only came to power earlier this month after bringing a successful vote of no confidence against Jo Natuman's government.

But Natuman's group has contested the legality of that and is seeking to overturn it on the grounds that most of Kilman's supporters are facing charges of bribery.

He also claims the dumping of his government has interfered with the recovery from Cyclone Pam.
