And (finally?) to confirm, the Senate did not consider the Freedom of Information Amendment (New Arrangements) Bill before in the early hours of 5 December it adjourned until the end of February 2015.
The bill would abolish the Office of Australian Information Commissioner, funded until 31 December, from 1 January 2015.
A big job tidying up for all involved after someone's poorly conceived thought bubble that first appeared on Budget night in May; that led to legislation introduced in parliament in October but ran into stiff opposition from Labor, the Greens and crossbenchers; and finally sank from sight in the last frantic days of Senate sittings.
Priceless!
