‹ Order of Business Backbench legislation opportunities
Summary
Senator John Crown asks the House to increase opportunities for backbench and Independent legislation, saying he can currently introduce a Bill only about once every eight months.
The press and the media had their own little referendum about us several years ago and they abolished us.
I have one last point to make. Could we, please, consider amending the way we do business to increase the frequency with which we can introduce backbench and Independent legislation? There are so many things I want to do in the next two years and I get to do only one every eight months.
