“in the Liberal Party, the problem is intellectual honesty,
intellectual capacity, courage and integrity. Liberal Party politicians are not
even game to attempt ideological coherence in their public pronouncements. They
prefer simplistic slogans, message manipulation, outright lies, and varying
levels of verbal bullying” [Academic
and blogger Ingrid Matthews writing
in oecomuse,
27 November 2018]
“I note, and
accept, advice that there is nothing in the bill that would abrogate
parliamentary privilege. However, the main issue with covert access in relation
to privilege … is that there would be no opportunity for a parliamentarian who
considers that material is protected by privilege to raise such a claim.” [ Speaker of the Australian Senate, Senator Scott Ryan, quoted in The
Guardian, 29 November 2018]
