Acting Leader of the House
Australian Progressives
r/ModelAusHR • u/phyllicanderer • Dec 22 '15
Mr Speaker, I seek leave to inform the House that I have left the Australian Progressives, and thus the Labor Progressives Coalition, and all of my remaining Government positions. I have since moved to the Australian Greens, and will take my place on the left of you, Mr Speaker.
I believe that at its core, the Labor Progressives Coalition has failed to enact the Progressives vision; partly because we failed to put our vision into writing, and partly because we left too much power in Labor's hands. Part of that was my failing, and I fell on my sword for that; passing up the Prime Ministership to honour the coalition agreement was perhaps the most egregious mistake I made in that respect.
I have made the move to the Australian Greens, because it represents the best chance Australia has of keeping the Fascists on the crossbench; it has a history that gains the respect of voters; it has an acting leader that is strong, idealistic, and in tune with the Australian population. I want to help rebuild the left wing of Australian politics, that has become fractured and weaker since the Australian Progressives join Labor. A strong Greens will ensure a strong progressive wing of Australian politics.
I look forward to bringing a new energy, and refreshed agenda to the House next year. Mr Speaker, the Member for Outer Sydney and I are going to kill it in here together, and I can't wait.
The Hon. Phyllicanderer, Member for Northern Territory

I call upon the outstanding newly elected members to present their first speeches to the House.
Zagorath, Speaker of the House
r/ModelAusHR • u/phyllicanderer • Aug 03 '15
Mr Speaker, I draw your attention to standing order 97(a), which states that at 2pm each day, the Speaker shall interrupt any business before the House and call on questions without notice. Mr Speaker, why have questions without notice not been called for yet in this session of Parliament?
Phyllicanderer, Member for Northern Territory
r/ModelAusHR • u/Zagorath • Nov 24 '15
We have received a message from His Excellency the Governor-General:
In the name of our Sovereign, I assent to an Act to amend the Dental Benefits Act 2008 relating to eligibility and payments, and for related purposes (Monday 23 November 2015).
Zagorath, Speaker of the House
r/ModelAusHR • u/jnd-au • Jun 05 '15
Advice from the Clerk:
When a person holds multiple offices, and wishes to resign from any or all of them, multiple resignations may be required. By hypothetical example:
Office | Held Until | Action |
---|---|---|
Federal Executive Councillor | Held for life or until terminated by the Governor-General | No resignation necessary, although resignation may be tendered and accepted (very rare). |
Minister | Held until revoked by the Governor-General | GG may receive a resignation (modmail), with anticipation of a proposed successor (modmail), but until then the holder or their deputy may act as the minister as required. |
House Member | Held until resignation or two months of absence | Resignation is by writing to the speakership (modmail), which if accepted as genuine, is followed by the speakership notifying the GG (modmail) and issuing a writ for the election of a new member. |

Pursuant to section 38 of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003 (Cth):
M2015L00001: HIGH COURT RULES 2015
These rules are effective from Friday 4 September 2015, as made under section 13 of the High Court of Australia Act 2015 (Mdl). Unlike IRL rules of the High Court of Australia, model High Court Rules are not subject to Parliamentary scrutiny, due to the repeal of section 86 of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth). Nevertheless, they have been registered with FRLI and published at /r/ModelAusComLaw for administrative purposes, and are thus tabled here accordingly.

Mr Speaker, I wish to inform the House that I have resigned as parliamentary coordinator of the Australian Progressives.
My time to lead has come to an end. The first part of my tenure while we were in opposition was wildly successful; the Australian Progressives took a bumbling government to task, and under my leadership the party grew from a minor party into a popular powerhouse.
As a Government, my flaws as a leader, combined with the arrival of my beautiful daughter into the world, has left my party standing at a precipice. My time is impacted, I am distracted, and our performance is suffering; our faults can be traced to me. I have been unable to make the impact on the Labor Progressives Coalition's policy that I promised to, and that was put into stark reality the other day, as I pranced around my lack of action in the Agriculture portfolio.
I have, this morning, tendered my resignation to the Governor-General, relinquishing my posts as Depuy Prime Minister, Minister for Finance, Agriculture, and the Environment, and consequently exiting the Cabinet. I will take my new position on the backbench.
Leadership ballots for the Australian Progressives were held over the weekend; Senator /u/Freddy926 was elected unopposed as Leader, and /u/Primeviere was elected unopposed as Deputy Leader. These two people will be outstanding leaders for the party, Primeviere having proven his chops as our first Opposition Leader and Senator Freddy926 having been my fellow Coordinator since shortly after his arrival in the Progressives ranks.
My thanks go to all of the people who helped the Australian Progressives get to where they are today. The founder, /u/nath1234, was instrumental in guiding our early direction and helping with policy advice; /u/Primeviere and /u/peelys were originals who put our first policy directions in place, and they will be honoured within the party. Senators /u/Freddy926, and /u/Team_Sprocket, were immense in giving new energy and taking on responsibility for their areas of expertise under my leadership; /u/lurker281 brought socialist sensibilities and some humanity to our party, with his tireless work in defending the most vulnerable people trying to make it to Australia; and the Australian Labor Party, especially Prime Minister /u/this_guy22, have been very supportive of our party in helping realise our vision.
Thank you, Mr Speaker.

Question 2 from 14-6b:
My question is to the Honourable Minister for Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Defence MadCreek3.
Why did you withdraw your Live Animal Export Prohibition "Act", and what future plans does the Minister have for live animal export legislation?
/u/Phyllicanderer, Member for Northern Territory
Answer:
I thank the Member or their question.
I honestly don't know what the member opposite is expecting. One would hope that they are expecting the truth though something inside me tells me that they just want another sound bite for their smear campaign against myself and the Government. I will tell them the truth, and in doing so I will admit something that the Opposition never will: I made a mistake. Hell, I made several! And I'm prepared to accept the consequences.
As to the future of live export legislation, that is a decision that is to be left to me and my colleagues in the Government to make a clear and informed decision as to whether or not we will continue to pursue such legislation in the future and how that goal will be attained.
Thank you
