Why isn’t anything changing, despite Senator McDonald’s position and focus?
First, “the government” doesn’t care. Why would it? It doesn’t need to care.
Secondly, Senator McDonald has only recently become a Senator and, sadly, is ‘on her lonesome’ in the Coalition when it comes to voting on motions of benefit for GA. Senator McDonald voted to disallow the Community Service Flight kneejerk instrument imposing conditions on pilot licences, but how many of her Coalition colleagues did so with her? Donut.
If Senator McDonald sticks with her principles, she’ll eventually - if not already - be facing a personal dilemma about her party affiliation. Will be fascinating to see what she decides.
