Well, what hypocrisy we're hearing here today. We have all the government amendments coming in for a bill that we're about to vote on—the Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Reform) Bill 2024. Good one, Labor! Shame on you again.

What I'm about to say echoes the concerns of other Independents and minor parties—namely, that these so-called electoral reforms are a massive stitch-up by the major parties to cement their power and influence. We've got to keep the two old white guys running against each other every election!
