Excellent explainer and critique of Victoria’s new Pandemic Bill from Kristen Rundle, @WPartlett (@MelbLawSchool) & @mariaosulliv (@MonashLawSchool) earlier this evening.

Main concerns of speakers 🧵:
/1 - Sidelining of Parliament: new model has incredibly limited role for Parliament (Premier declares pandemic and Parliament not needed to renew). Disallowance mechanisms require both houses of Parliament, rendering them of limited practical use.

This is such an excellent and timely piece from @sangpillai on what Australian citizenship means post 9/11: “Post-9/11 Australia has pushed a tradition of exclusion to constitutional extremes”

#constitutionallaw #auslaw “Ultimately, unable to reach agreement on these things, they simply left citizenship out. The Constitution says nothing direct about what it means to be Australian, when a person is entitled to Australia’s protection, or who can claim to ‘belong’ to Australia.”
