Andrew Bartlett commenting on John Quiggin's site:
And whilst I agree a unanimous vote is very desirable, I don't agree that Nelson should seek to expul and withdraw endorsement of any Liberal who votes against an aoplogy. We need less instances of parliamentarians being forced to vote for things they are fundamentally opposed to, not more. Unanimity is desirable, but not at the price of forced and fake agreement ...The Australian Democrats were our most republican and liberal politicians.
