Fairly hefty document, but yesterdays session really warrants this being posted. Today is senate question time which should be no less amusing. I shall be listening to that one as well...

This should also clear up misunderstandings of just why Australians love taking the piss out of our government and where we get it from - they do it themselves, and do it well.

The transcript of the days session starts at page 15 and goes on for quite a while, but it is a VERY entertaining read.

I love this part;

Mr HOWARD—This will be difficult. Saddam
Hussein is married to his weapons of mass destruction.
He will never give them up willingly. Militarism
and aggression are the foundations of his regime. If
you doubt this, consider his actions against Iraqi
Kurds, against the Shiah majority—particularly the
Marshland Arabs. Consider the estimated 400,000
combatants and civilians who lost their lives in the
war that followed his invasion of Iran—

Mr Albanese—We were on his side, you dope!

The SPEAKER—The member for Grayndler will
excuse himself from the House under the provisions
of standing order 304A.




Hahahahahah!

Could he have stayed if he left out the "you dope" part? Is that the 304A? heh

I'll say it again: Westminster govt r0xx0rZ.

It's now time for the Liberals to attack Labour over another Labout PM who is in favour of war;

Mr DOWNER (Mayo—Minister for Foreign Affairs)
(4.24 p.m.)—As the member for Eden-Monaro
says, it is a pity we did not get even one minute on
Tony Blair, whose name has yet to be uttered by the
Labor Party in this debate, interestingly—

Mr Sidebottom—Go on then, fawn over him!

The DEPUTY SPEAKER—The member for
Braddon.

Mr Sidebottom—Tell us you love him.

The DEPUTY SPEAKER—Order! The honourable
member for Braddon will desist or leave the
chamber.

HAhahahahhaha!

How many people are left in the chamber at the end of a typical day?

A lot more then you would think. You have to be warned quite a few times before your ejected... Unless you totally interject (more than a snide comment) then it's straight out. As my understanding goes.

Dictatorship: Don't riskthishappening to your government.

Simpsons: "I've said it before, and I'll say it again: democracy just doesn't work."

Mr Sidebottom—Tell us you love him.

*giggles ass off*

Mr Crean - The deputy over there?
Mr SWAN - The deputy sheriff or Deputy Dawg?
Mr Crean - Deputy Dawg

LOL!
