Message to the Governor General #auspol #ausvotes Your Excellency, Re: Migration and Maritime Powers Legislation Amendment (Resolving the Asylum Legacy Caseload) Bill 2014 We refer to statements made in the Senate last Thursday by Senators Muir and Hanson Young, in addition to various reports in the media since. We believe that Minister Morrison is proven to have used unreasonable pressure and coercion against the Senate in order to get this Bill passed. We also understand that the use of such practices violates the Constitution and Parliamentary Convention. Accordingly we request that you do not give the Bill Royal Assent and do not sign it until these matters can be properly investigated. We believe this Bill to be at odds with our international obligations under the International Convention on Human Rights and the Statute of Rome.
