Loophole Bill carried amid party split and kingpin cross
A controversial bill aimed at restoring the Trespass on Commonwealth Lands Ordinance and related laws passed the House after Liberal backbencher Mr Killen crossed the floor to back an opposition amendment. The move, led by ACL MP Mr Enderby, would affect prosecutions of 27 charged and 28 others in the Aboriginal embassy incident, but was defeated six votes to seven. The government said it would not accept the amendment, arguing the ordinance had not been operative in prosecutions.
