Pandemic Management bill. Health and well-being Act 2021.

[DJC]

Dan was going to have the vote for the bill on the 18th. However with a feeling he wouldn’t have the numbers, he has organised a delay to the vote. He had a vote to allow a reschedule to this key vote. At the next parliamentary get together. I haven’t read when this will be. A week, two weeks, in a month etc. He needs to get a cross bench member or two to take his side. Matthew Guy has asked if this new watered down version can be revisited with all the MP’s in the upper house to produce a bill that has the input of all the MP’s, and Dan has stated it isn’t up for debate or discussion. The bill is finalised and ready to be voted in as a legal legislation is what Dan states. Now we wait to hear more. Samantha Ratnam, Andy Meddick and Fiona Patten all back the bill as cross bench members. Adem Somyurek threw the curve ball into this situation. Let the kids have their arguments on the school footy oval. Sorry children, I shouldn’t say that. Politicians behave worse than kids in parliament discussions. Far worse. My bad and an amendment with an attachment.

One of the scumbags opposing the Bill assaulted Andy Meddick's daughter and she ended up getting stitches in a headwound.  This occurred after counter-terrorism police charged a Victorian man who encouraged anti-lockdown protesters to bring firearms to State Parliament.  That's awfully like Aurangzeb's attack on democracy in the USA 

And here's an interesting opinion from the Sydney Morning Herald:

A great irony is that the proposed [Victorian] laws would be a significant improvement on those in NSW, and a marked improvement on those currently operating in Victoria. Indeed, the debate in Victoria should represent a great opportunity to witness democracy in action. It was a chance to reconsider laws that had not been used on this scale until the COVID pandemic struck. And yet, facing defeat in the Parliament, the Labor government has postponed debate on a bill that would make the law better, not worse, and increase the accountability of ministers rather than deliver them absolute power.
