My usual rule is not to engage with this ancient history on twitter and focus on the future. But since Labor have abandoned holding to account a government on the ropes and made it the issue of the day, I’ve got a few things to say, more in sadness than in anger.
The thing I remember most starkly about the night the #CPRS went down was how little effort the ALP made to change the result. Usually, when major legislation is coming into the Senate, even if a government is quite confident of the outcome, there’s a flurry of activity.
When a government is unsure, activity levels go through the roof. There are hurried phone calls, meetings in corridors, messages flying from office to office, Ministers huddling over the desks of cross-benchers in the chamber.
