Prorogue then intimidate : Comments

By David Flint, published 31/12/2010

Has Premier Kenneally successfully stifled debate on privatisation by proroguing the NSW parliament?

The dodging of Parliamentary scrutiny is a case of dirty pool played by a grubby government. The fact that for most of the time up to the election the current government can carry on without restraint of either Parliament or of caretaker restrictions is frightening. Can David Flint please tell me if there is any maximum time that that can continue? If there is no limit could the Governor take action under the reserve powers at a later date?
What is happening in NSW is a worry. However as a Queenslander I get some pleasure from watching the morally bankrupt power drunk behaviour from the Deep South.

talk about clinging to slender reeds

quote..<<anything they say would not be afforded the normal parliamentary privilege from legal action>>

as if colluding treason
can have parlimentry protection...lol

talk about bluff
its clear...[by their deeds]...

that deals have been done
that contradict the whole reasoning
for forming constituted governance..in the first place

to wit the safety and well being of the people
and the common weal

selling off state assets
and giving a grant..gift]..to those colluding treason
of two billion coal-subsidy..by govt..to those stealing the states assets..is hardly protected under the constitution..or parlimentry privledge

its colluding treason
and all supporting this pro-rogue...support's..active treason

the absurdity of..<<Crown solicitor opined that committees could not function after a prorogation>>...is also a treason..not only to the state and is people..but the crown...and if the qyueen actually condoned it becomes a matter for impeachment

these fools are playing with fire
but will get away with the immediate treason..because of cowards

...its time to listen to..<<the Clerk of the Legislative Council, Lynn Lovelock,..who has advised the committee chairman,..the Rev. Fred Nile,..that the 1994 advice was ''restrictive'' and that hearings could proceed...>>

matter solved

hold the hearings fred..!
what are you afraid of..?

with the people..and the clerk..
and god

..on your side..why be afraid?



the Standing Order clearly provides..a committee..can still sit after a session has been prorogued,

..protected by privilege..under Article 9

The Bill of Rights is preserved..in New South Wales..by the Imperial Act Application Act,..1969.

and Article 9 provides: "That the Freedom of Speech..ought not to be impeached..or questioned..in any Court..or Place..*out of Parliament."

..when Parliament is not sitting,..Article 9 surely applies...

get at the truth...mate..!

this whole deal
smells..to the lowest of the hell's

are you man or mouse?
get on with it..

As a Liberal supporter, this idiocy by NSW Labor is the Xmas gift that keeps on giving.

Unless KK does something about it, it will be the defining feature of Labor going into the March election. I wonder if it will be possible for Labor not to win a single seat. KK seems to be going for a new record.
