Corrections (Use of Court Cells) Amendment Bill — First Reading, Second Reading, In Committee, Third Reading

Tuesday, November 24, 2009

I had not been intending to take a call in this debate. I will be very brief. I will make three points.

 First, I have never heard such a load of rubbish in my life. Carmel Sepuloni has just said that the Labour Party is voting for the Corrections (Use of Court Cells) Amendment Bill because the Government is in crisis. Well, I invite Labour members to vote against the bill. Because the ACT Party supports the bill, it will be passed into law whether or not the Labour Party supports it.

 The Government does not need Labour’s support. It is welcome to give it. It is a good bill. But I have never heard such a load of rubbish in my life. Thank you.
