There are certainly elements of the bill that don't sit comfortably. From what I gather, the idea of it isn't being rejected by the Human Rights Commission, QCs etc, but some of the powers and oversight is being questioned.
So how does Parliament operate? Governing Party goes nup. Not going to listen. This is what it is - we've 'consulted' with you. Opposition goes nup we don't support it, it is draconian, over the top, we'll repeal it when we get the chance. Minority parties go here are some amendments we would like.
Wouldn't it be great to hear: Governing party go we hear your concerns, but this is why the bill is written this way. The opposition go - here are the amendments to make it workable and fair and reasonable. The minorities go here are some of our amendments.
Result of the first are the tv images, threats to pollies, ugly, divisive language and scenes.
Result of the second is people having a better understanding of why it is needed and that Parliament is working for us.
I really hope the first isn't here to stay.
