Armed Forces Bill

Subsection 3(c) has the potential to enshrine an illegal occupation. People should exercise, and have the right to exercise, their personal responsibility. The punishments that we include in Acts of Parliament should reflect their right to do so; they should not be excessively harsh. The punishment of imprisonment of up to life imprisonment is exceptionally harsh and should be removed from the Bill. I urge the Liberals and everybody else to come off the fence and oppose it.
