Rather than bemoaning the fact pre-legislative scrutiny is in situ, we should welcome it because it makes legislation better and allows for a better and more participative journey of Bills. Nonetheless, it is a source of concern.The other point I would make, and I am not accusing Senator Daly of this, is that those who oppose Government at every opportunity should reflect on what is new politics. New politics is not about opposing Government at every opportunity.
