It’s been a big week for cross-party collaboration on issues we’ve been strong on from the very start.
Digital ID Repeal Bill 2024
I co-signed the Digital ID Repeal Bill alongside Senators Antic, Babet, Canavan, Hanson and Rennick, which was introduced into the Senate Wednesday, 26 June 2024.
This Bill aims to repeal the government’s dystopian and ill-conceived Digital ID Bill.
What everyday Australians need is a Bill that protects their privacy, not one that removes it.
The way this Bill was rushed through the Senate without debate was reprehensible and an abuse of Senate process.
COVID-19 Response Commission of Inquiry Bill 2024
2 years ago I promised to hound down those responsible for the damage our COVID measures caused to Australians.
On Tuesday, in company with Senators Antic, Canavan, Rennick and O’Sullivan, a Bill was introduced to immediately commence a Senate Select Commission of Inquiry into our COVID response. The Terms of Reference in this Bill includes the recommendations from my recent committee inquiry.
