Senate debates Commonwealth Electoral Amendment (Democratic Plebiscites) Bill 2007

In Tasmania—if I am not wrong, supported by the Liberals—there is a law which says you cannot have a plebiscite on the fluoridation of water. The government has let that one go by. By law in Tasmania, if you hold a plebiscite on the fluoridation of water you go to jail. I ask Senator Macdonald whether he will support an amendment if I put it up now overriding that stricture in the law books of Tasmania. Logic says he will have to.
Question put:
That the amendments (Senator Murray’s) be agreed to.
