kingalfred Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) I used to think UK parliament was a "rowdy mob " at question time but watching it in the Aussie Canberra parliament, I see it surpassed. The speaker has to throw out opposition Labor members for "shouting abuse". The speaker looks up to the job, headmistress style of ruling,doesnt stop the image we have of "aussie loud mouth behavior" but she does her best.

As for Parliamentary behaviour, it's hard to top our friends in the Taiwanese parliament, particularly the 'ladies'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2CSOAyPZNg One of the women from that earlier altercation appears to have a serious personality disorder .... Let's see Julie Bishop deal with that lot. 1 Link to comment
aussieinthailand Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Aussies, Bring back the BIFF, as they keep lying to us anyway, makes for a little more entertainment. It's what's called parliamentary privilege, say what you like. Not that I agree with it but that's the gig man. "Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something" ; Plato. "The rulers of the state are the only ones who should have the privilege of lying" ; Plato. And they don't even do it well. And FYI no I didn't eat a book on philosophy for breakfast, it just came too me, what can I say, It's a gift Edited November 26, 2014 by aussieinthailand Link to comment

What ever you do do not criticize Australians,it doesn't matter where you are in the world Australians can not handle criticism,they treat any comment as a personal attack, the worst personal insult for an Australian I have experienced is for a dinky di aussie male having to be trained by a foreigner and god forbid actually having to be supervised by a foreigner!! loved their country so much even accepted citizenship,but loudmouthed bigots they are!!

Arwon Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Australian parliament was better when Paul Keating was there, love him or hate him, he gave some brilliant retorts. Julie Bishop is a Liberal and, of course sides with them, the speaker should be even handed Link to comment
kingalfred Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Evenhanded she is. i watched it. When the PM or ministers are replying the opposition shout when they dont like the answer. we remember the Rudd/gilligan/Rudd shambles Link to comment

You poor person..such a sheltered life you lead to think that all Aussies are like that. My wife criticises me all the time if I do something she perceives as "farang type behaviour" is forever re-training me and supervises everything I do. She is thai, which makes her a foreigner and my boss and I love her dearly so now I hope at least one Aussie can restore your faith. Link to comment

Freed1948 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 The speaker is as biased as she comes. Paul Keating would have had her for breakfast and spat her out. This Tony Abbotoir Government has been elected on lie after lie! When you get the Prime Minister and Hockey rorting the system you can expect the labour party exposing them for what it's worth. I love watching Question Time as it renews my faith in the system. Can't wait for the next election and throw these rorters out. And I usually vote Liberal. Link to comment
