Debate and commentary over the new Pandemic Powers Bill filled the chamber of Victoria's Upper House of Parliament, from this morning (started yesterday). This after the ALP secured another vote to get their laws across, with some ammendment. The Deni Pastrol Times wrote "Overnight, the state government agreed to six amendments after securing a vote on the bill from Mr Barton. The amendments include the creation of a cross-parliamentary committee as soon as practicable after a pandemic declaration is made, the committee can also recommend the disallowance of pandemic orders. Parliament will be able to disallow pandemic orders by an absolute majority in a joint sitting of both houses, under the changes. Additionally, a two-year review, carried out by independent legal and health experts, will start within 18 months of a pandemic declaration. A new independent merits review scheme for detention orders will replace the current Detention Review Officer Panel, and the amendments will remove the aggravated offence clause. The changes will also clarify that complaints about detention can be made to the Victorian Ombudsman, and parliament or a committee can refer a matter for investigation."
