The second rebuttal we've had from the Minister is "Don't worry about the fact that we are passing a law that enables prisoners to stand for Parliament. We shouldn't worry about that because it's just academic." Well, we should remind ourselves that a pretty serious criminal Arthur Taylor, took issues of prisoner voting all the way through the system, all the way to the Supreme Court. The idea that we as legislators should not be considering robust law, and we shouldn't actually be passing laws that have got holes in them—and if it is legally possible for a prisoner to stand for Parliament, I actually think we make a mockery of this institution and we make a mockery of our democracy, and that, actually, the right to vote is far more than just filling out a form.
