The Citizens Initiated Referenda Act 1993 allows any person to start a petition asking that a national referendum be held. We propose the following referendum question based on the recent Copyright (Infringing File Sharing) Amendment Bill passed on April 14, 2011.
PROPOSED REFERENDUM QUESTION:
Should the government be permitted to pass laws under urgency, which do not have a direct connection to the state of emergency called, and bypass the normal processes of consultation with the public and expert advice?
