The Senator – who abstained from the vote on Senator Alan Breckon’s proposed reforms, despite backing them publicly at the end of August – says that some kind of hybrid system between ministerial and committee government is the right way forward.

He says that more needs to be done to engage a greater number of States Members in decision-making and policy-making, without undermining the Scrutiny system and going all the way back to the pre-2005 committee system.
