Over in the senate the crossbench have also been trying to get the bills they had left over from the last parliament which were not addressed, re-introduced into this parliament.

The first day of business of a new parliament is a lot of this work – dealing with the things that were left to wither on the vine during the last parliament.

For David Pocock, that looks like these bills:

  1. Copyright Legislation Amendment (Fair Pay for Radio Play) Bill 2023;
  2. Electoral Legislation Amendment (Fair Territory Representation) Bill 2024;
  3. Lobbying (Improving Government Honesty and Trust) Bill 2025; and
  4. National Housing and Homelessness Plan Bill 2024.
