1/ PART 1/2: WHAT THE LNP WONT ALLOW TO BE DEBATED
The LNP have voted more times to stop debate than they have voted on actual legislation.
The sardonic irony of Tony Burke being gagged whilst talking about the gagging of debate is a perfect display of LNPs disdain for democracy

2/
This corruption of democratic process should be front pg news & lead news items. Standing Order 80 (as we know it) was created in 1906 when members had no time limits on speeches. When it was created there was great concern about its potential misuse.

3/
A story in the Newspaper in 1905 explained the potential abuse. Prime Minister Deakin said reassuringly “that it would rarely be used & not for partisan purposes” Deakin was unable to imagine 115 years later we would have the most corrupt govt in our history.
