Privacy Amendment (Privacy Alerts) Bill 2013 to lapse
June 30, 2013 |
Last week was the scheduled final sitting week of this Parliament. It is due to be prorogued in either August or September.
As such any bills not passed by both Houses of Parliament will lapse. That seems to be the fate of the Privacy Amendment (Privacy Alerts) Bill 3023. The political drama took effect upon the legislative schedule.
It will be for the next Parliament to introduce this Bill or a facsimile of it. If it is so minded to do. A new Parliament is a legislative Tabula Rasa.
