Senate Chaos thanks to Labor and the Greens

“Once again the Green Labor alliance has guillotined 4 Bills in the Senate this evening and in doing so the business of the Senate descended into a farce,” Senator Abetz said.

  • The Crimes Legislation Amendment Bill (No.2) 2011
  • The Aviation Transport Security Amendment (Air Cargo) Bill 2011
  • The Veterans’ Affairs Legislation Amendment (Participants in British Nuclear Tests) Bill 2011….and
  • The Protection of the Sea (prevention of pollution from Ships) Amendment (Oils in the Antarctic Area) Bill 2011

“These 4 Bills were simply rammed through the Senate without a single word of debate, denying a single minute of scrutiny of the legislation before the Parliament.”

“Once again the Senate and the Australian public have been railroaded by the contemptuous behaviour of Labor and the Greens.”

“The disinterest of the media in this sham is regrettable,” Senator Abetz said.
