Bach asks Stitt, Min for Workplace safety, why they allowed MPs to run the debate for so long.
She tries to blame the Libs for delaying the debate.
'Those who elect us would expect us to do whatever it takes to pass legislation to protect health & safety'. #qt
Follows up asking if there's any workplace laws that allow for 25hours of work straight.
Stitt says 'well you care about health so much you should vote for everything we present in future on this'. Yes that was the final response.
Ondarchie *asks very short question if Min for local Govt supports renaming Moreland*.
Leane *yelling for 5min about slave plantation history in the state*.
To everyone asking, yes, that's what Leane is normally like.
Got blocked a long time ago for commenting on a post that it was the most articulate thing I'd ever heard him say. Still stand by it.

We're onto the Pandemic Bill.
Libs have taken the opportunity to suggest amendments again.
Oh god, the bells again. 🥴

Pandemic Bill officially kicks off. Comments below.
This stage kicks off with no running sheet, which is unusual. Davis makes a point of this, as well as the continual lack of wider consulatation in the community (again).
Davis listing off all the people in the community who have been affected, and will be affected, by these new powers who have not had the chance to speak and be heard. Wants a proper Parliamentary enquiry into the bill.

Opposition ripping the govt a new one on their inconsistencies on the Pandemic Bill. First it was urgent, then time was 'needed to consult', then next minute it's urgent again even though the other MPs have barely had 12 hours to see the amendments they're meant to debate today.
They're rushing this so much that the basic run sheet for the debate hasn't even been finished & circulated before the debate starts. Symes tries to defend this, says they can start at clause 1 & maybe if still not done after that they can look at a minor delay. Sloppy & chaotic.
You can see why Shing has been tagged as a preselection favourite for the next election. Their favourite narky little attack dog.

Pandemic Bill update 🧵
Been waiting to see if there's a standard evening Herald Sun leak from the govt about news of a deal.
With nothing so far & also no leaks from any MPs saying they've been sent new amendments (would have to happen) it's looking like debate won't resume tomorrow it'll be Thursday.
It is however technically still scheduled for tomorrow but this is never set in stone & can easily just change in the morning. This is where Bernie's comments come from (I assume) as the govt doubled down on this schedule at a briefing this evening which was a bit odd.

Why are they trying to close the borders again? If it's seeded globally already (most likely) you'll achieve nothing anyway & even if it hasn't - what are you achieving, exactly? What you'll keep them locked until there's a new vx? Or until when?
'We just need time for more info' ok how much time? What'll make that end? How many times within that time are politicians going to move the goalposts? This started with '2 weeks to flatten the curve'. Very few people are stupid enough to buy a line like that again at this point.
To the inevitable screeching "are you saying let it rip?!" the question has to be asked, are you saying to start again from zero? Seriously, are you? What do you want here? How much suffering in every other area of life do you not care about if it means you can feed that fear?

Some observations:
You have to admire the absolute commitment of being in stilts.
