I led the charge for the National Party, as the shadow Attorney-General, against the COVID-19 Public Health Response Bill just a fortnight ago. Never in my 12 years as a member of this House have I received so many messages and emails from people who are not supporters of my party but who were saying thank you to the National Party for standing up for their interests, for defending their concerns, and, in particular, for defending our democratic rights, as I did on that occasion. Now, without the Epidemic Response Committee, that opportunity to represent the concerns of members of the public will be greatly diluted.
