Increasing parliamentary scrutiny of laws
People who support this policy believe that the parliament should maintain its ability to scrutinise new laws, whether through considering bills in committee, adding sunset clauses so that certain provisions need to be reconsidered at a future date or through its power to disallow legislative instruments.
View on They Vote For You →How each party's members voted
Each bar is 100% of a party's current members in the House of Representatives whom They Vote For You places in one of its seven agreement groups for this policy (its own categories, shown as published). Bars show percentages of members, not vote totals; the number beside each bar is how many members that is. Members They Vote For You says haven't cast enough votes on the policy are counted separately, not in the bars.
