      Pretty much. That and trying to distract people from the details of their budget, which will without doubt be all the usual crap you’d expect from conservatives.

      The bill was never going to pass, the other two parties in the coalition had made it very clear they would support the bill to its first reading and no further, and only agreed to support it that far because they couldn’t have formed a government otherwise.

      This didn’t really change anything.

          Because they wanted to get their minor coalition partners the colonialist vote. Which of course means they wanted the colonialist vote by proxy.
