G'day John,
Last week Australians were witness to one of the most irresponsible
reckless acts of poor governance in modern memory. Anthony Albanese's
Labor party, with help from their obedient Green lackeys and one
rookie Senator forever to be known as "Doormat" Dave Pocock, rushed
through some of the most radical changes to Australia's IR system we
have seen in decades.
Labor allowed for little over a month for an investigation into
their legislation. Hardly enough time for struggling small business
owners to put together a submission. When the legislation was
introduced into the Senate it came with pages of amendments, none of
which had been examined by the Senate. Then after a few hours of
debate Labor, Greens and the hapless Doormat voted to end the debate
and rush this reckless legislation through. They also chose to vote
down One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts' amendment to the legislation
that would have ended COVID-19 vaccine coercion just to put a cherry
on top.
As to whether this was the worst thing our Labor/Green/Doormat
coalition managed to achieve this week, there is some competition.
They also teamed up to vote down a proposal by Senator Hanson for an
inquiry into the huge increase in Australian children being diagnosed
with gender dysphoria and treated with puberty blockers and cross-sex
hormones.
Apparently asking questions about this issue is off-limits. Makes
you wonder what they are trying to hide.
While there have been a number of injustices last week that hasn't
stopped One Nation from seeking to tip the scales of justice back the
right way.
Currently, in South Australia, the loss of an in-utero baby due to
a criminal act is legally recognised as only an injury to the
mother.
One Nation's Sarah Game has introduced legislation that would right
this wrong and ensures that unborn children can be acknowledged as
separate victims in their own right, not just recorded injuries to the
mother.
One would hope that Labor and the Greens don't seek to block this
worthy measure as well.
We shall see.
Kind regards, Peter Brady
