Senator BROWN (7:55 PM) —A better world it would be if the minister borrowed somebody else’s ideas instead of implementing her own. She talked about judicial mugging of the legislature. Let me interpret it for you. It is having a go at the law. The judicial mugging comes out of the law of the land catching up with manipulative legislators who want to subvert either the Constitution or the norms of society. Isn’t it always the case that it is the conservatives who end up wanting to do that? The conservatives do not like democracy, do not like the parliament and do not like the judiciary when it catches up with them and says, ‘You observe the Constitution, you observe the international law’—and in this debate we have heard how often laws from this minister transgress international law—‘and you observe international covenants.’ But the minister does not do that and then claims foul when the judiciary says, ‘You must.’ It is thinly veiled disdain for both the democratic system and the legal system in this country that the minister is expressing.
