What the Leader has just told us about the establishment of a review committee is just another example of the outrageous, cavalier and arrogant attitude of the Government. It has established a committee without any consultation with the Senate and without anyone from the Senate sitting on said committee. It is absurd and an absolute disgrace. This is also why I object to this Bill, in a human way. Its proposers are a multi-multi-millionaire and two unelected people who were parachuted in without an election and without incurring any expenses and none of the three will probably run at the next election and will therefore not be subject to these rules. There is something cavalier and arrogant about that too.
