The Greens' bill for a code of conduct for all parliamentarians, with an independent process for complaints and with penalties, was inquired into, and the big parties said it wasn't needed. Government members said the 'better approach' would be to 'identify gaps', if any, in the existing regime and 'implement measures to address those gaps'. Does the minister agree that the absence of an independent body with the power to take disciplinary action against parliamentarians is a gap? And what are you doing about it?
