How practical is SOL? What happens when changes occur, and will people have sufficient time to consider these changes?
The two houses (the House of Representatives and the Senate) must agree to a Bill in identical terms before it is passed. Normally, a Bill is put through the House of Representatives first and once passed it is automatically adjourned to the following period of sitting before being presented to the Senate. There are three readings of the Bill in each house, the Bill becoming public shortly before the first reading. In the vast majority of times, there will be large amounts of time for the public to be considering a Bill. One of the great benefits of the internet is how quickly information can be passed. The SOL website will be able to update these changes immediately, and everyone who is interested in this Bill or has voted on this Bill will receive an email update, asking if they would like to change their vote. Replies will also be instantly updated to the SOL website.
