Meager staying on as Chair of Justice while being a Minister breaks convention, undermines the ability of the committee to scrutinise the executive, whilst led by the executive.
Does anyone know when an MP was last on a subject select committee whilst being a Minister?

❗Parliamentary select committee submission guide❗
As I near the end of my thesis, I've been thinking about how best to share my research with people so they can submit to select committees in ways that are both useful to committees and improve the effectiveness of submissions.

This guide is applicable and useful for all bills that you may want to submit on, but has some particular guidance on the Treaty Principles Bill at the end. If you have any comments or feedback on the guidance, feel free to get in touch. Share this around for use elsewhere.

Our Director, Meg Russell, was a special adviser to Robin Cook as Leader of the Commons in the early 2000s.

On this @SPERIshefuni podcast she discusses the work of the 1997 Modernisation Committee and why "good scrutiny leads to good government" 👉 https://t.co/trmCunE37k.

Payman: "When history looks back, it must see we stood on the right side of humanity, even when it was difficult. Sadly I do not believe our principles align with those of the leadership of Labor. With a heavy heart but a clear conscience, I announce my resignation from the ALP"

@adnhw @JulieAnneGenter And between the two of JAG's conclusions (this one and the transport fuels shouldn't be in the ETS) I'd rather encourage this line of thinking

[Will Dreyer @dreyer_will]

@adnhw @JulieAnneGenter Yup, sure, I agree. But I can also understand the desire of governments to make targeted interventions (eg. NZ Steel deal). And I'd rather that happen with actual emissions reductions (by correspondingly lowering the cap) rather than it being emitted elsewhere

[Will Dreyer @dreyer_will]

@JulieAnneGenter @adnhw This seems like the better policy - government intervention to reduce emissions tied to corresponding reductions to the ETS cap - rather than arguing that transport fuels shouldn't be in the ETS at all? Complementary policy rather than one or the other

@Publicwrongs @A_G_Hawkins That said, SCs could engage in more innovative ways to bring the democratic element in. Wrote a small piece on this a couple of years ago: https://t.co/2kwqTZK6qk
