Rejected petition Discuss the ending of parliamentry privilege
Rejected on
To discuss the ending of parliamentry privilege to allow a more open government.
If someone makes a false statement agaianst a person or company within Parliament that person or company has no right of challenge. In other words, lies might be told which misleads Parliament. In civil law a decisin can be challenged but not a Parliamentry decision. North Korea we are not, but it is getting that way.
