Scott Buchholz (Wright, Liberal Party) Share this | Hansard source

I rise to speak on the second amendment to the Parliamentary Service Amendment (Parliamentary Budget Officer) Bill 2011 and, in giving this short address to the House, I call on our Independent colleagues who hold the balance on this particular bill. This bill is prudent to the transparency and to the authenticity of gathering information for oppositions in an electoral cycle. I remind the parliamentary secretary where we are in the parliamentary cycle and urge him to consider his position given that there may be a day that he sits on this side of the House and these amendments may serve him well, as they will serve us well.
