Why
Blak independent Senator Lidia Thorpe's Private Senator's Bill which seeks to remove the Attorney-General's fiat — a veto power which currently blocks the prosecution of Genocide in this country — will be debated on Thursday 28th November.
During the debate, there will be a protest happening outside Parliament House to draw attention to the injustice (and irony) of debating whether Genocide should be freely prosecuted in the so-called democracy of Australia.
