The Greens, One Nation and Senator Jacqui Lambie will stonewall progress in the Senate until the major parties back down on a proposal that would limit crossbench motions | MaxKoslowski

The Greens, One Nation and independent senator Jacqui Lambie will stonewall progress in the Senate until the major parties reconsider their new plan to limit the number of motions per day.

But the crossbench warns the plan would limit oversight of both major parties by reducing chances to procure documents via the Senate's strong review powers and muzzle the crossbench's contribution to debate. Centre Alliance senator Rex Patrick said he would oppose the motion because "it did appear without consultation... and I fear that if we don't resolve this what will happen is we'll have this sort of disorder propagate through the next sitting weeks."

MaxKoslowski Stick it to them Pauline. Show up those swamp creatures for what they are.

MaxKoslowski Yes, all major parties full of soft, corrupt, career politicians! Votes for ones who have run a business, worked at a trade, risked their life for their country or fought a bush fire!

MaxKoslowski SenatorWong and MathiasCormann have gone too far here and should be ashamed of themselves. Atleast allow Senators to put up multiple motions in a week.

MaxKoslowski Hanson is a motion. A big fucking skid mark.
