| THE new order in Federal Parliament is on the verge of breaking down, with MPs warning they are overworked, at risk of drug and alcohol dependency and are being held hostage by the demands of the independents.
The Sun-Herald has learnt of a strong push by Labor and Coalition MPs to scrap parts of the deal on parliamentary reform negotiated by the independents - Rob Oakeshott, Tony Windsor, Andrew Wilkie and Bob Katter - in the hung Parliament.
It is understood a committee set up to review the new procedures is considering changes to the rules, including scheduled times for votes on legislation, softer pairing arrangements and special arrangements for MPs from far-flung electorates.
