the government now seems to be saying that Senators wouldn't need permission to use the bathroom under its proposed new standing order, but that's not what the motion on the notice paper says, unless they plan to amend it

I'd be surprised if Marielle Smith's motion passes, but... if such a rule were to be agreed, is it genuinely enforceable? I am not a lawyer but this feels vaguely kidnapping-adjacent? Would Black Rod have to prevent senators from walking out one of the chambers many doors?

loving this suggestion to remove the donkey vote advantage by printing ballots on round paper with a centre hole, and installing spindles into ballot booths to "facilitate spinning if needed". i suspect it will be deemed logistically impractical, but it would certainly make voting more whimsical

This is interesting: someone has told the parliamentary inquiry looking at the last federal election that they worked as a contractor for a party or a candidate and was paid for doorknocking, phone polling, and working outside pre-poll voting centres

The Paris Agreement requires Australia (and all countries) to submit nationally determined contributions (NDCs) every 5 years, that each should be an improvement on the previous and reflect the “highest possible ambition”
