There will be no disciplinary action by the Senate’s Committee of Privileges against Opposition Senators Janelle John-Bates and Faris Al-Rawi.
The First Session of the 13th Parliament came to an end at midnight and according to the Standing Orders, a Committee of Privileges probe expires or lapses at the end of a parliamentary session, even if the investigation is still ongoing.
