The ACT Legislative Assembly sat on Monday morning with all 25 members gathering in the chamber, but prior to the sitting three members were banned from meeting in the building.

The three members of the Assembly's select committee on estimates - James Milligan, Andrew Braddock and Marisa Paterson - had to go offsite for a meeting.
