The danger of this pandemic bill is the concentration of power in one man, Victorian Premier Dan Andrews. In order to get this bill through parliament, Dan must keep his party in line and cut deals with all sorts of players including his three "favourite" crossbenchers, whom he favours far above of all the other crossbenchers.
Unfortunately for Dan Andrews, a former Labor Party MP named Adem Somyurek is returning to parliament after a long hiatus. Although he is embroiled in a corruption scandal, he has vowed to vote against the legislation, forcing the vote into a tie and causing the bill to fail.
Topher Field explains the situation in far greater detail and clarity.
This makes sense. Awakening cannot happen without this bill passing. This guy is just playing his part to delay the timing, as I assume the tiking is important.
