The electoral amendment bill that was passed in 2018 was the worst bill of the 52nd Parliament, and in these closing weeks it's entirely appropriate that we point out the failings of that bill and seek to repeal it. There is a very fundamental point of what makes a country a democracy, and it is this: the people elect its members of Parliament and the people alone are entitled to fire them—the people alone are entitled to fire them—and the moment we give party leaders the power to dismiss a member of Parliament that has been democratically elected, we erode the very fabric of what makes our parliamentary democracy so important.
