Which she has declared to have been withdrawn.
- decoyworker 7y agoHas not been formally withdrawn.
- spacehunt 7y agoShe declared it "dead" which is not a legal term.
- billfruit 7y agoYes, but politicians speaking to the press often speak in a non-formal manner. At any rate the bill appears not to be under active consideration at present.
- spacehunt 7y agoDoesn't matter; the government can still resume the second reading with only a few days notice and then rush through the bill within 24 hours, unless it is formally withdrawn.
- thecopy 7y agoNo, it has been suspended. Withdrawn is a separate state. If the government in the future want implement this again, it is a lot less effort to continue a suspended bill rather than a withdraw. The difference is that with a withdrawn bill the legislative process needs to start from zero while a suspended can just be "unsuspended".
