The speech was given by Senator Chris Back from Western Australia. Senator Back takes his place in parliament following the resignation of Senator Chris Ellison.
It is encouraging (and rare) to read such an intelligent speech from a member of Australia's house of review. It augurs well that legislation will receive the scrutiny they deserve.
Dr Back's speech also referred to a matter of which I was not aware:
We in the west were alarmed last November when, leading up to a COAG meeting, the treasurers of the eastern states and territories took it upon themselves to meet and plan their strategy but explicitly chose to exclude the Western Australian Treasurer.
Juvenile and foolish. But why am I not surprised.
