      At this point in time, the bill is simply a proposal by one member of parliament. It goes in the biscuit tin, and only gets looked at if it gets drawn out at random.

      To get prioritised, it needs support from all the parties in government. Our far right “deregulate and downsize government” party would have to support it, and it would be a very telling move if they did.
