More people protested against the release of Passion of the Christ in cinemas.

The parliamentary record is taken when the bill is being voted on and debated in the parliment. By that time it too late. The elected officials are given the bill in final form much earlier then that so they can review it. They are given early drafts in advance so their input can be taken.

COUGH BULLSHIT. The Parliamentary record documents the first, second or third readings of a bill and also includes any bills which go to committee as ACTA did. Anyone who wanted to read it could have.

If we had waited until the parlamentary record to get the bill it would have been too late.
That the point. and you just made it for me.

WE ? Gideon, the most you have ever done for your cause is come to troll GFY, even then you fail. All you do is make stuff up and post it as fact, it's really rather pathetic to see you pushing this dead horse around.
Hopefully when you grow up you'll get a life rather than this pointless campaign of self justification on GFY.

sure you can the bill is given to the representatives before the hearing are heard and recorded so they have time to review, get legal advice, etc before voting on it. Are you really so stupid as to believe that laws are sprung on the elected officals within the parliamentary debate. That they are given no time to prepare, and they vote blind.

You know what ? In most countries that's exactly what happens, bills are presented to the Parliament by the sponsoring Minister and then read, voted on etc by the parliamentary members. It all happens during the parliamentary session (ie: sitting period). Usually the bills are made available in what's called the first reading. Not where someone actually reads out the bill but where the bill is placed onto the public record for consideration by parliamentarians.

no one cared about a law that had millions of people protesting in the street when they were informed of it.

I love you little fantasy land, millions ? read above it was not millions, it wasn't even hundreds of thousands, it was thousands.
Are you autistic by any chance ? It would explain a lot about your single minded little campaign that nobody really cares about or supports.
