Dear Johan (OUG),

I've got an issue with "Question Time," in Federal
Parliament. It probably started out as a democratic
safeguard years ago. Today its become a rancorous
farce - one which is not helped by a very biased
Speaker who's totally unqualified for the job.
We get Questions on notice which are defensively
answered by public servants. Questions without
notice receive irrelevant ramblings and
propagandist replies. Then of course the Government
also uses up the time with Dorothy Dixers - where
sycophantic and ambitious backbenchers ask questions for
which Ministers have well prepared answers - boasting about
their own and their Government's brilliance.

Surely, the time could be put to better use by genuine
questions from the public, genuine exchange of ideas,
and much more genuine debate - rather than point scoring
and political tactics.

‘morning OUG,

Whilst I often find your posts a bit obtuse I think you have just identified a problem with OLO.

We used to see a much greater spectrum of topics and we used to see threads running for over 100 posts. Not any more.

As can be seen from the main page listings, OLO seems to have moved progressively (sic) to the ABC’s main topic menu and responses are often reduced to the pure rhetoric of the twitteratzi.

This is mostly ranting or venting and IMHO, we do not need to encourage more of this.

Oops! Too late, Foxy is already out of the traps!

Good point, Foxy.

Question time is a rabble - and as you point out has been further dragged through the mud by a biased Speaker and her whining prefect.

Apart from the total uselessness of question time to actually further Parliament's integrity and inform the public, it's become a farce lately with Bishop in the Chair. During the last two question times she's tossed out 14 Labor Members. She did once chuck out an LNP member, but that appeared to be a prearranged set-up to make her appear balanced.

Lol!...the score at present is around 120 Labor Members ejected to 1 LNP Member.

What a joke!

and get on with saying vote none of the abouve;once we get informal over 59 percent/govt =is sacked/auditers go in and proceeds of crime are seized and mates deals cancelled[we are smothering under odius debt/wrought by treason

But then again...what makes me happy?

There's a colourful parrot perched on our bird feeder in the trees. He's munching a seed bar we left for them. So the sun is shining, the bird has a chunk of seed bar in his claws and is indulging himself without a care in the world.

He's not too far away so when hanging out the washing, I turned the line slowly so as not to startle him.

Nice.....

(much better than watching humans snarking at each other...as we do)
