Emergency Powers Safeguards Legislation Amendment Bill 2021

David Limbrick - South Eastern Metropolitan

Private members bill that aims to amend the Emergency Powers.

Main points
- Even if this passes the Upper House, it will get squashed in the Lower where the govt holds a majority.
- The point to pass it in the Upper would be to send the govt a warning message that Parliament isn't happy.
- They still have to debate it tomorrow which means watching the govt try to justify these powers.

This has no chance in passing in full.
