Independent senator David Pocock said he believes the prime minister should have already announced plans to bring federal parliament back early to address the Bondi beach terror attack.
Pocock spoke to RN Breakfast this morning, saying:
I take the point that drafting takes time, but we’ve seen plenty of times previously where government can pull together legislation very quickly when it wants to
… I think coming back early really sends a signal to the community that the government is taking their concerns seriously and moving quickly in response
This is a national issue, and I think we need a national response led by the commonwealth, led by the federal government, in conjunction with states and territories.
