When the Labor government previously attempted to change the laws in 2019 the debate got bogged down as Liberal upper-house MP Nick Goiran delivered an epic filibuster speech that ended up lasting 22 hours over multiple sitting days.

I had no idea filibusters were a thing in Australia, i hope thats been removed as a possible tactic, its such an anti-democratic use of Parliamentary time.
