With the appointment of Senator Henderson, the Senate now comprises 38 women and 38 men. This is the first time in the Senate’s history that it has had equal gender representation. Victoria The vacancy in the Legislative Council resulting from the resignation of Philip Dalidakis (ALP, Southern Metropolitan) on 17 June 2019 was filled by Enver Erdogan (ALP), who was sworn in on 15 August 2019. Western Australia In the Legislative Assembly, Ian Blayney (Geraldton) resigned from the Liberal Party on 24 July 2019, joining the Nationals on 17 August 2019.

Australian Capital Territory Following the resignation of Meegan Fitzharris (ALP, Yerrabi) on 8 July 2019, a recount was held and the vacancy was filled by Deepak-Raj Gupta (ALP), who was sworn in on 30 July 2019. © Commonwealth of Australia Creative Commons With the exception of the Commonwealth Coat of Arms, and to the extent that copyright subsists in a third party, this publication, its logo and front page design are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial- NoDerivs 3.0 Australia licence.

    [email protected] From: Melina Bath <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, 31 August 2020 3:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Your vote this week Dear Bob, Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding Andrews Labor Government’s intention to extend State of Emergency powers under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 for an additional 12-month period. As Victoria battles COVID-19, the State of Emergency is the legal framework under which the current wide- ranging restrictions on people’s lives and livelihoods including restrictions on leaving your own home, business closures, travel bans, quarantine arrangements and curfews are made. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Andrews Labor Government has been extending the State of Emergency in four-week blocks. However, the law states that there is a maximum six-month limit, with the current declaration due to expire on 13 September 2020. This week, the Andrews Labor Government wants the Victorian Parliament to pass a new law that will extend the maximum duration of state of emergency powers from the current 6 months to a potential 18 months. The draft legislation gives effect to these proposed laws (which you can read here) – and the Liberal Nationals have many serious concerns! As well as extending the maximum duration of a state of emergency from 6 months to 18 months, under the proposed new laws: · a State of Emergency may still apply even if there are no active cases of COVID-19 in Victoria. · the Chief Health Officer can take action to eliminate a serious risk to public health if he believes it to be ‘reasonably necessary’ rather than the current ‘necessary’ which represents a much lower threshold.

    [email protected] From: Sarah McDonald <[email protected]> on behalf of Stuart Grimley <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, 31 August 2020 3:13 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: Your vote this week Dear Bob, I hope this email finds you well and thank you for your message. We have made our position clear that we will be opposing the extension of the State of Emergency by 6 months. We are yet to see any amendments to this Bill and will review each one of its merits and vote accordingly. Our preference has been a month-by-month extension with regular oversight by the Parliament and exceptions in regional parts of Victoria, specifically those that have not been affected by Covid-19 for an extended period of time. Regardless of the outcome of the vote, we will continue to work with both sides of Parliament to ensure the safety and well-being of all Victorians, in particular those in the electorate of Western Victoria whose constituency base I represent. In the meantime, if our office can provide you with any further assistance, please do not hesitate to let us know.

If I could introduce the committee, we have Georgie Crozier—I am Fiona Patten, as I mentioned—David Limbrick and Sheena Watt. As you know, we are the Legislative Council Legal and Social Issues Committee. If I could just give you some preliminary information, all evidence taken is protected by parliamentary privilege, and that is provided under our Constitution Act but also the standing orders of the Legislative Council. This means that any information you provide during this hearing is protected by law. However, if you were to repeat those remarks outside this place, they may not have the same protection. Any deliberately false evidence or misleading of the committee may be considered a contempt of Parliament.
