Labor has decided to rush one of its most hazardous policies through right on Christmas hoping this would strip the Opposition, One Nation, and the crossbench of their ability to properly vet and reject it.

There’s no better demonstration of Labor’s lack of respect for democracy or the people of this nation.

This isn’t about proper process, debate, and creating good laws.

It’s about pushing unpopular and extremely harmful policy through all at once – flooding the Chamber and drowning out opposing commentary.

Politicians use these tricks when they know there’s something wrong with their proposal but ideology demands the bill passes anyway.
