Crossbench MP's band with Andrews government to pass bill extending emergency powers
Greens MP Samantha Ratnam will be returning from maternity leave to vote with the Andrews government and pass legislation extending state of emergency powers for an additional six months. She joins Reason Party Leader Fiona Patten and Animal Justice party MP Andy Meddick who have teamed up to get the Premier’s bill across the line. Emergency powers acquired by the Victorian government in response to the coronavirus are currently set to expire on September 13. Mandating masks and self-isolation are among the list of measures which can be imposed on Victorian citizens under a state of emergency. The Victorian Health Minister spoke in favour of the bill saying it would provide the legal framework needed to move the state through the pandemic. However, Victorian Liberal MP David Davis questioned the sudden urgency of the legislation, saying the Andrews government had months to bring the proposed bill before the parliament.
