I don’t know how you can demand parliament pass a bill either?
At the end of the day there's probably hundreds of "demands" presented to governments by fringe groups each month in Australia, with a rough percentage of zero of them ever finding their way into law or government policy.
Just because a former member of the profession is involved in one of these fringe groups doesn't suddenly make this particular fringe group more likely to have their "demands" listened to.
