Also, with 16/18 Senators (89% of Senators) voting on the final bill the claim of an inactive Senate as a whole, across party lines, is pretty inaccurate.
Well it is. You can vote because someone told you to vote that way without having to read the bill at all.
How do you explain the difference between the vote in the senate and the amendment going down in flames in the two regions then?
Labor is GOTVing against the amendment and telling voters how to vote (against it), which is something you supposedly don't like. Or are you really going to try to claim that isn't the case?
Welcome to the Labor Party, uh, *checks notes* Christian Man, AGA, and Cokeland Saxton!
