I think it was Senator Cameron who pointed out in the Senate debates today that religious bodies are rich and powerful and not so silent.
Whatever happened to the credo of separation of Church & State??
As if itâs ever really existed⌠

Why did the Senate pass first?
I feel out of touch, but surely bills go through the House of Reps first?
Or was this because the lower were on holidays?
Because it was a private memberâs bill introduced by a Senator. Normally the government introduces legislation in the House of Reps as that is where a government (generally) has a majority, but technically bills can start in either.

More to the point, Malcolm gave the lower house a week off.
That was after the bill had been introduced into the Senate first.
Not saying he did the right thing, but it didnât go to the senate bacause the house had a week off.
His excuse for running away from parliament this week was to allow all focus to be on the bill in the senate.
It passes the senate yesterday.
It could have passed the house of reps tomorrow. But theyâre not there.
Spineless, lying, pathetic joke of a leader.

Yes i agree, but I was just explaining that this was not the reason why it went to the senate first.
What happened to that guy who used to appear on Q&A sporting a leather jacket? He almost gave the impression that a Liberal government with him at the helm wouldnât be so bad. You have succinctly summed up his time as leader. It has been more than disappointing from a guy who cares more about his job than his principles. It was sickening to hear Brandis speak in the lower house about his âgreatâ leadership for bringing about the plebiscite. Nothing but a self serving â â â â that put many people through hell because he didnât have the guts to do what was right and what he believes in. Itâs going to be a great day when he is removed from Office.
