Examining referendums – do they work?
OPINION: Abortion, cannabis reform and euthanasia. Polarising issues which seem to repeatedly defy normal parliamentary decision making. We have elected representatives and
publicly open select committee processes, which is meant to allow for thorough investigation of issues and sound decision making. Yet referendums have been demanded on each of
these three issues, with abortion law reform the latest to see this call made. Referendums are public votes like elections, but as we all saw with the Brexit vote, they are prone to big
money trying to sway opinions, disinformation, and emotion. So what is the best process for our elected lawmakers to use in setting these new laws? Should it be left in their hands and
