Imagine a Government that wishes to pass a package of controversial legislation, such as the Stronger Futures legislation. It calls for a Senate Inquiry as a way of showing that a democratic process will be followed, but once the actual process starts realises that its proposed legislation is being widely slammed by those who will be mostly affected by it.
The Stronger Futures legislation passed through the lower house on Monday 28th Feb - the day of the leadership battle- & weeks BEFORE the senate is due to report. The senate is due to report on March 13th.

The left is a broad church. Excuse me if I make a few generalisations here.
The left is represented by the right of the Labor Party at its furthest right, although there are some unions that would argue they represent left values who are to the right of even the right of the Labor Party. let's accept that the Labor Right is about as right as we want the left to be.
At the other extreme is those anarchists who promote radical libertarianism and hard left Marxists who support the old ways of the Chinese Communist Party and Stalin.
