Australia has a bunch of exciting new laws!
Forget the AFL rights, television networks should have been scrambling to air the Albanese government’s epic attempt to cram some 76 bills through parliament during one sitting week.
Like all sporting matches worth their salt, this one was a real nail-biter with an epic finish: a remarkable 32 bills were passed in the final day – and in prime time, too. This scoring feat was something a gleeful Albanese boasted about on Friday morning, as he seemingly took on his new ‘man of action’ guise overnight.
He didn’t get them all through though: environmental protections were put off until the Earth gets really, really bad, while Labor failed to get a limit to the millions of dollars political donors can contribute to a party, meaning we’ll continue to be treated to Clive Palmer’s garish, golden, Trump-esque electioneering for some time yet.
It’s a joke pushing through all these bills in 1 day.
But why isn’t the media making more of the pollies going on holiday on 29-Nov – what’s wrong with sitting for another 3 weeks like most workers?
Albo is a dud, even rusted on Labor voters hate him now
Brilliantly written but with Aussie politics, it almost writes itself? “environmental protections were put off until the Earth gets really, really bad” 🙁
Brilliant read – enjoyed every bit.
