A ballot for two Member's Bills was held today, and the following bills were drawn:
- Employment Relations (Termination of Employment by Agreement) Amendment Bill (Laura Trask)
- Copyright (Parody and Satire) Amendment Bill (Kahurangi Carter)
The first is ACT bullshit aimed at undermining basic employment rights. The second would correct a long-standing hole in our copyright laws, and hopefully it will be passed.
There were 73 bills in the ballot today - the most in quite some time. Naturally, Chris Hipkins doesn't have one - he doesn't care about anything / is too good for actual work. And naturally, his deputy Carmel Sepuloni is pushing for a four-year Parliamentary term, which tells us that what Labour really cares about is job security and unaccountability for themselves.
