Liberal MP Julian Leeser has slammed the government's lack of transparency after passing a guillotine motion to ram more than 30 bills through parliament while arguing the move could be "clearing the decks for an early election".

The Albanese government has been criticized for allegedly making "dodgy deals" with the Greens to pass a guillotine motion, allowing 31 bills to be rushed through the Australian Parliament with limited debate. This move has been described as an "outrageous abuse of power" by the opposition, particularly by Shadow Finance Minister Jane Hume, who accused the government of undermining democracy by limiting the scrutiny of legislation. The bills in question include significant changes to the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax, the Housing Australia Future Fund, and other key policy areas. Critics argue that this process bypasses necessary debate and could lead to poorly considered laws, with concerns also raised about the government's transparency and the potential for future similar tactics.
