Shattered that we could not defeat Labor’s extreme State of Emergency laws last night.
Labor got the numbers (just, 20-19) after doing secret deals with the Greens and two other cross benchers.
We should never forget this outrageous affront to our democracy.

In 2020 Brett Sutton said - that “ICook Foods was the sole supplier” was a key reason why there was “no other plausible explanation” than ICook was the source of listeria.
THERE WERE 6 OTHER SUPPLIERS.

Always remember.

It said no. Instead, for months, it relied on pens, paper and fax machines.
With deadly consequences.
