Higher rate of government bills starting in Senate down to ‘ambitious agenda,’ says Holland
So far, 22.7 per cent of government bills this Parliament have started in the Senate, compared to 7.1 per cent in the 43rd Parliament, 4.7 per cent in the 42nd, 13.8 per cent in the 41st, and 15.7 per cent in the 40th Parliament.
A higher proportion of government bills—almost 23 per cent—have been introduced through the Senate so far this Parliament, a trend Government House Leader Mark Holland says comes down to efficiency and the Liberal government’s “very ambitious agenda.”
