in How the FOI (Amendment) Bill slipped through on Martin Stabe
This is sheer idiocy and poor journalism. For anyone to claim the bill was sneaked through at the "very end of a busy parliamentary day" is pathetic - it was a Friday afternoon... it can't get any quieter in Parliament.

Then you have Norman Baker complaining. All he needed to do was shout "Object" and the Bill would have been denied a second reading without debate and would go to the back of the queue again. Surely one MP, good and true, could have been there to do the honours?

Personally, I don't think this will go anywhere. Now that some noise has been generated, there will be the necessary opposition at report stage to kill the bill.
