Continued the debate
Duniam argued that the bill addressed a harmful arrangement between the government and the Australian Greens, which penalised crossbench and opposition senators. Duniam claimed the government had reduced resources available to members to hold the administration to account, describing it as a vindictive approach. Duniam commended the legislation as an excellent piece of law that would restore fairness to the chamber. Duniam noted that the Greens had proposed a similar second reading amendment, suggesting consistency in their position.
