WHY NOT EXTEND SoE THROUGH CARNIVAL ASKS IND.SEN

As debate resumed in the Senate on the Bill for Zones of Special Operations, one Independent Senator suggested extending the State of Emergency through Carnival, saying lawmakers need time to ensure the legislation is done right.

While describing the bill as well-structured, the Senator also raised concerns about the wide powers it grants warning that, in the wrong hands, it could be misused by a future Prime Minister.
