I wish that were true but, alas, it’s demonstrably naive.
Dick Smith looked to have a fundamental change, agreed surprisingly by both sides, to the CA Act in the bag, a great effort which I’m sure did not come overnight or without considerable effort (unpaid). Too bad BJ took a tumble but maybe the new Minister might carry that forward.
The new Minister won’t take it forward. There’s nothing in it for the Minister to do so. The bipartisan agreement to fundamental change was balloon juice.
We can can write, ring, email and meet our MPs and exhort them to push that legislative action.
Yep we can.
At least I can say I tried really hard to get the horse to drink.
