Nobody will ever rival the wit of Paul Keating at the microphone in Australian parliament.
With the possible exception of Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam…
Sir Winston Turnbull: “I’m a Country member!”
Gough Whitlam: “I remember!”
Absolutely agree, Keating was master of biting wit
@@noelleggett5368 Yes!!!
@@noelleggett5368 In fact, it's said among old political journos that Arthur Fadden was met with that interjection in parliament, presumably before he became leader of the Country Party in Oct 1940.
The source for the Winton Turnbull anecdote seems to be a NewsCorp journalist.
My source was also at one point a journo for NewsCorp (very unlikely he ever did parliamentary reporting), and not beyond fabrication himself.
In his telling, Fadden's statement began "Mr Speaker, I'm a Country Member..." and the anonymous interjection was "We remember!" I don't know about Turnbull, but from what I read, the insult was certainly an apt one for Fadden.
Conflicting anecdotes by News Journos - who's lie is the true lie?
Albanese’s take down of Turnbull about the NBN is a classic.
“She’s not intimidating enough”
Bronwyn Bishop: Hold my beer. 😂
The last time I saw a face like Bishop, I lost $100. It came last at Flemington.
Yeah, Jesus, I wouldn't say that in a mirror three times at midnight. Is she dead yet? I imagine the helicopter industry will be devastated.
The speaker, Bronwyn Bishop, was compared to a Sherman Tank. The only difference is eyeshadow.
@@cgkennedyshe was a disgusting Thatcher wannabe.
Bishop was an "Inch deep and a mile wide" - Paul Keating
There should have been more Paul Keating, he described one politician as “a shiver looking for a spine to run up” and another one as “all tip and no iceberg”. You never knew what clever put down he would come up with next.
Maybe there’s more in the last half
I was looking for the C-bomb
He also said of another politician - ‘He’s like a dog returning to eat his own vomit.’ Now that’s gold!
Is he one of the 28 mentioned in a royal commission? Some say he is & they were witnesses.
Not to forget that immortal line describing the opposition politicians, ‘a conga line of assholes’ 🤣😂💪🏻
There are definitely worse ways to spend an afternoon than stoned and watching parliamentary question time followed by playschool

Right!! 😂
What you are watching is known as "question time" - depending on the topics & time of day, this can be extremely boring or super exciting. The 2 boxes on the table (1 on each side) are called "Despatch Boxes" & are often used to place papers or notes by the person speaking - like a lectern, which are spaced ~396 cm (2 swords & 1 Inch apart) based on historical grounds. The green room is the "Lower House" (= House of Reps) and red room is the "Upper House" (Senate). The sand filled glass timers (4 min & 1 min) are used for Ballots or Divisions, while electronic clocks are used for speech monitoring. Visitors or Strangers are allowed to watch proceedings from the galleries (seats upstairs around the room). The speaker of the house (umpire type person) is supported by clerical staff and manages the procedures or operations of the parliament. This person also has a casting vote on proposed bills (laws) if the vote is tied.
The acoustics of the Gallery are amazing. From there a spectator can hear every word spoken by the Members and Speaker and, even more interesting is that a Member sitting nearby can hear every word spoken by a spectator. During my only time there (as a spectator) I made a quiet (I thought) comment to my wife sitting alongside me “there’s Andrew Gucci!” Whereupon the Member for Kooyong Andrew Peacock (his lookalike image having been given the nickname of Andrew Gucci by the Australian version of the TV show “Spitting Image”) turned around immediately and gave me the dirtiest look. I was shocked! I guess he disliked that Gucci name. I didn’t say a word after that and we left soon after.
@@DeepThought9999 Good story. I always wanted to visit a question time. I'm sure it would be boring for the most part, especially nowadays, but just to experience the vibe of it would be something special.
Talking about an unruly British parliament (also the Australian parliament), you may notice that the table down the middle of the room is quite wide. The original table was designed to be wide enough to prevent members on either side, being able to swing a sword at a member on the other side. All tables following have kept that tradition.
Yes, Ryan, that idiot brought a couple of sticks of dynamite into the parliament building to prove a point.
Did that happen on Guy Fawkes Day?
@@PCLoadLetter😂
@@PCLoadLetter We don't have Guy Fawkes Day - or night. There are only major official events allowed to have fireworks managed by expert pyrotechnicians.

You need to react to Julia Gillard’s misogyny speech… that’s the greatest put down of a politician ever! Even the 10yr anniversary of the speech was celebrated
I still love her 'snivelling worm' comment, that was gold
I was thinking that too in watching this, imo that speech was much better than anything on this video
@@curiousemu6462 Yes, snivelling grub.. done right back to Tony like a day after he did it to someone else.. AS LEADER OF THE HOUSE!
Pauline took it off the burqa within a second of you starting the video. Under 94a of the House of Representatives Standing Orders, the Speaker of the House of Representatives can direct a disorderly member to leave the debate for one hour. During that hour, the member cannot enter the House; they cannot participate in the meeting and cannot make a speech or vote.
I love Pauline, she asks the questions that everyone else is afraid to! 🙋👍 (My comment was erased/blocked! I guess we cannot refer to that other religion, or name any of the highly paid ex politicians?🤔)

@@jenniferharrison8915 she's a show pony who hasn't ever actually achieved anything worthwhile.
Pauline is disrespectful
@@Sponggybobbieeven worse, shes an idiot 😂
10:54 that lady (the House Speaker) was removed after a Royal Commission for spending $5,000 of Tax Payer money for a Helicopter flight to a Political Event that she did not need to fly to. She could have driven. Her name is Bronwyn Bishop. We in Australia do NOT like Politicians who spend money needlessly or are in it for themselves and not for the people.
She also has the record for kicking out the most opposition members under 94a before kicking out someone from her own party. I think she reached about 100 ALP politicians before kicking out the first LNP.
Absolutely.... I hope part 2 shows what I think is one of he funniest moments in politics; when Bag Bishop was first installed as Speaker, then Tony Burke stood up and said it was "like coming back to Hogwarts after the holidays and finding out Dumbledore was gone and Delores Umbridge had taken over as Headmaster". The fact she was the only person there who didn't get the joke made it even more hilarious!
@@anserbauer309 Remember the time when Pyne stood up and motioned to her stop Bill Shorten being applauded?
@@RandomStuff-he7lu Oh, Jesus yes! Every single session Whiny Pyne would stand up and dob on people who said words he didn't like; or words he thought he's heard them say, white Tony Rabid would nod to the "Speaker" when he wanted her to follow-up. The three of them were completely out of control. A shameful blight on our Parliament's history.
@@RandomStuff-he7lu Remember when someone hacked Christopher Pine's social media, publicly shared some gay porn on his feed, then apparently reinstated the original password? there was nothing suspicious about that excuse at all. 😂
It's really sad and scary that the most powerful people running the country act like children.
Yeah, it's really not funny. Question time is a disgrace and achieves nothing other than name calling.
Seems like half of the adults i deal with in life act like children.

The Clerk in Australia and the Chairman are The Boss! If they see you being a pos they will kick you out and you will leave. America needs that.
By which you mean the Clerk and the Speaker.
don't be so sure, we have had some that have been horribly biased.
@@Archmagos_Faber *cough* Bronwyn Bishop *cough*
You mean the Speaker in the Reps and the President in the Senate.
@@rmoz2729 President of the Senate doesn't have the same degree of power in the senate that the speaker of the house does in the house.
Senators can only be kicked out of the chamber by a senate vote. The president can call such a vote, but any senator can anyway.
The funniest moment in recent parliamentary history was Christopher Pyne calling Bill Shorten (then leader of the opposition) a c**t. The speaker then reminded him to address the leader of the opposition by his correct title 😂
I love watching them in parliament, I’m a complete nerd. We had one pm who was famous for his insults, Keating, he’s a classic

The Westminster parliamentary style is confrontational. Not just in Australia.
We even have our own word for it - "shirtfront", a term used in Aussie Rules Football which describes the act of charging into an opponent's chest, typically so as to knock them to the ground, .and made famous by ex-Prime Minister Tony Abbott when he threatened to "shirtfront" Vladimir Putin over the loss of 298 lives, including 38 Australians, in the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17.

In NZ we had one funny moment when one member said another member "had the brains of an ass". The speaker told him to apologise and withdraw the remark. "Sorry Mr Speaker, I apologise, the member doesn't have the brains of an ass".
Over here in AU there was a similar exchange once, except that the creature of reference was a sheep - which would've been more appropriate for NZ!
More sheep in Aussie than NZ. @@willpugh-calotte2199
Another thing interesting in the Australian Parliament House is the red line on the floor, a long time ago people would disagree and then fight with each other with swords so the red line was in place so if they crossed it they would be kicked out by security, this is still in practice today. The red line is called a blood line.
Aussie Parliament can be very entertaining. 94A is the equivalent of sending a child to their bedroom for punishment, but in reality they either go back to their office or visit the Parliamentary Pub - which is terrific by the way.
That was kindergarten compared to both PM's Keating and Whitlam, Keating's wit, made school kids out of career politicians.
Bob Hawke was overshadowed by his treasurer but he was good too
"Madam Speaker" was the worst speaker we ever had. A total and absolute garbage human being.
Well I’m loathe to make a judgement on many people’s quality as a human being, but she certainly was an outrageously blatantly biased speaker.

@@jenniferharrison8915 yep that Keating, in parliament he delivered some classic put-downs and one liners
Transgression under section 94a of the House Rules allows for the Speaker of the House to remove a member of parliament from further contribution in the current session. Bronwyn Bishop, of 'flying around in public funded helicopter rides to attend weddings' fame was once quoted, after having been given a tour of a RAN submarine [she was deputy Minister for Defence at the time] as saying 'Do you know, I'm the first Australian female politician to have gone down on a submarine? It was full of seamen.'
There are a group of people who had a short lived soft spot for Mrs Bishop. When she was with the Defence Ministry she made it possible for a number of defence Cadet training facilities to be repaired, refurbished and rebuilt... she was, temporarily, nicknamed "Saint Bronwyn" for a short time because of it... mind you, it didn't last long... the "perfumed steamroller" was another nickname she acquired, there were others but I can't remember them off the top of my head...
Aussies have a somewhat healthy disrespect for pollies because there was always a new shitfight around the corner involving one minister or another, and we don't mind reminding them who they actually work for...
never a dull moment in aussie politics...🥴

Country Party member Sir Winston Turnbull shouting in parliament: “I am a Country member”.
Prime minister Whitlam- responded “I remember". Laughter erupted from both sides of parliament.
We didn't even hear about the "suppository of all knowledge", thats "a big pill to swallow"
My daughter had a recent school excursion to NSW Parliament and watched this in action.... She said - "omg, they are like kids! You're irrelevant.. You're stupid... OMG mum"
Ryan, interesting you should compare the importance of agriculture and mining. That particular Minister for Agriculture, Barnaby Joyce, and his National party, have historically been elected by and for rural farmers, but over the last 30 years or so, they seem to be more supporting of the mining industry (and in the pocket of its billionaires) to the detriment of the farmers.
barnaby joyce in 2017 had to step back from his position as leader after he had an affair and got his staffer pregnant. whilst married which for a rural representative is a big no no. he eventually regained leadership in but lost it in a ballot and is now a shadow minister. (in losing his leader he went for 400k a year to 200k a year.)
The Speaker is the most important person in the room, if they stand up, you sit down and shut up, doesn't matter if you're the Prime Minister or a cleaner.
The security issue reminded me of the Chaser boys getting through security at the APEC summit in 2007. Absolutely hilarious. You really need to do a reaction to that!
The red head is Pauline Hanson, she is far right and has said some very funny things over her political career. She used to own a fish and chip shop before running and there was a song named "The fish and chip b....h from Ipswich" You either lover her or hate her. Tony Abbot, Liberal was known as a "Utensil" on a stencil sprayed around the Brisbane graffiti scene. He loved running around in his Speedos. The Agriculture Minister, Barnaby Joyce, because he always goes red in the face, has been called "beetrooter" by a well known Australian comedian. Security: I liked the terrorist incident in the Canadian Parliament, whilst he was running around with a gun, shooting willy nilly, the clerk of the court went and got his gun out of his office, calmly walked up behind him and shot him in the head, dead.

The Australian parliamentary system is the British Westminster system, as it was developed by our leading politicians of the 1880s when they represented the individual British colonies on the continent. However, they looked around the world for good ideas and decided that the US names for the chambers suited Australia better. Therefore we have a House of Representatives instead of a House of Commons (which would make no sense since we’re all commoners here) and a Senate instead of a House of Lords. The adjudicator/Chairman figure is the Speaker of the House of Reps, and the effective functioning of the chamber depends on how impartial and authoritative they are. Bronnie (the white haired harridan) was a shocker.
Used to watch question time at the gym. So hilarious I'd almost drop the weights on myself.
Ryan, you should watch some sort of compilation of Paul Keating's best moment in Parliament - he was gold, nobody beat him in a challenge of words or wit!
Yes more entertaining. When I was much younger my mates and I would sit up after the footy with more beer, chips and nuts to watch parliament question time. Paul Keating was the silver tongue. You gotta play the best of Paul Keating sometime. He's still pretty sharp and opinionated even now.
Paul Keating is insane
Oh please! What are you on about? Paul Keating was a nutter.
Australian parliament is based on the Westminster System. Yes UK
Sam Dastiyar the Muslim that came from Iran in that Video was a Former Senator that Turned out to be one of the most Corrupt People in Parliment . So the Redhead Pauline Hanson another Senator was sort of right about him be a Bit Dodgy !
Apart from the entire LNP of the last decade that is.
The Australian parliament actually based their own parliament on the Westminster system from the United Kingdom :D
Though unlike the "House of Lords" in the UK, Australia votes for the members of It's Upper House (The Senate).
You should listen to Paul Keating, Bob Hawke, and especially Julia Gillard’s misogyny speech.
Re your guesstimate that Australia's main sources of production are mining followed by agriculture, the actual breakdown (as of 2017) is....
- Services (incuding education and tourism): 62.7%
- Construction: 7.4%
- Mining: 5.8%
- Manufacturing: 5.8%
- Agriculture: 2.8%
Ryan, you need to watch Julia Gillard’s feminism speech in Parliament when she was Prime Minister. It went viral on RUclips. Also worth noting is that many of those people speaking are the Prime Minister, who sits in the House of Representatives.
@@frenne_dilley Julia Gillard was the best PM we had for a long time and there wasn't anyone better since.
Soooo many things to say about the rabble that passes for a Parliament in this country 😅 The red-headed woman is Pauline Hanson, who arrived in Parliament in about 1998 and has been a pain in the arse ever since. Her anti-Asian, anti-Muslim, anti-pretty-much-anything stance shows Australia at its worst. The scary blonde coiffed woman in the Speaker's chair, Bronwyn Bishop, was notoriously biased against members of the Opposition party, even though the Speaker is supposed to be neutral. We have more independent MPs these days, thank god, to break up the monotony of the old party system.
Fiona, made me laugh, Agree of course. At least they provide much fodder for comedians and the like or just average punters like us to laugh at. So many are just so loopy and off the charts, I don't think they could get a job anywhere else, so they become a pollie
Fun fact, the older woman speaker was EXTREMELY biased towards her party, ejected the most members of the opposition over the course of her reign than any other speaker for the most mild crap, and kicked off a crisis in her own party through misappropriation of funds and got dismissed
18 in one sitting was her record.
Good old Bronwyn Bishop
It's hilarious how they call each other honourable, when they are far far from what that word actually means 🤦🏼♀️
This video demonstrates the differences between the Australian form of democracy, based on the Westminster system, and a republic such as the United States. In the Westminster system, the government is formed in the House of Representatives according to the results of the federal election with the party that gains a majority taking the government benches, sitting on the right of the Speaker. The official opposition is the alternative party that may form a government, had the result been different. The opposition sits on the opposite side of the chamber. Other members and senators who are independent, or in minor parties, are unlikely to form a government and so are know as cross benchers and cover a wider spectrum of the Australian politic (eg Pauline Hanson).
Many of these extracts are from question time in the House of Representatives, when the opposition has the opportunity to ask questions of the government, holding them to account. By contrast, In the republic of the US for example, the government is formed by the elected president, who makes their own appointments to the governing portfolios, such as Secretary for Defence or Treasury Secretary etc, who reside outside the parliament. In the US, these people are not politicians and cannot be questioned every day by the opposition in the parliament and be required to answer questions.
The position of the Speaker is also slightly different. In the Westminster system, the Speaker is elected by the House to chair the proceedings. As the government typically has enough of a majority, the Speaker is usually a government member, but is expected to act impartially in the chair. The excessive use of standing order 94A, to suspend a member or senator from the chamber, could be construed as a lack of impartiality by the Speaker. The Speaker in the US, also elected by the House, has an added power of handing out the committee chair positions that enable the legislature to scrutinize the various portfolios of the government.
In Australia, the Head of State is the Governor General, who is appointed by the King (currently King Charles III) on the recommendation of the prime minister, to discharge the responsibilities of the Crown and sign legislation in the formation of laws. Ministers are sworn in by the governor general acting on behalf of the King, so they effectively have two jobs; as a member of parliament and also a Minister of the Crown.
This is reflected in the 'horseshoe' shape of the Chamber, as differing from the 'D' shape of the US House and Senate. The two opposing sides face each other in the proceedings. Ministers are on the front bench, with the opposition shadow ministers opposite as the alternatives ministers, but not sworn in by the Crown. The opposing benches are set, by tradition, two sword lengths apart, from medieval times when politicians wore their swords into parliament, separated by the two sword lengths so they cannot kill each other. This is the 'blood line'. The leaders, sitting at the centre table and speaking from the dispatch boxes are leading the charge, within range!
You may call it rigorous and robust debate, but the dynamic is a little different.
A significant correction: in Australia, the Head of State effectively is the Governor General. Fixed that for you. The Monarch of Australia, currently King Charles III, is the actual Head of State for Australia. Everything else was correct and well-written. Congratulations, sir.
You forgot to mention the gold Mace on the table in the House of Representatives. If the Mace is not there… parliament cannot sit.
@@DeepThought9999 Thanks for your comment, correction noted, The role of the governor general was also drawn into controversy with the sacking of Whitlam by the GG, and the extent to which the monarch participated, if at all, and who got to do the sackings first.
@@DeepThought9999 Thanks for your comment and I acknowledge that you are correct. The document attesting to this also stands in parliament house: of King Charles III as King of Australia, dated 8 September 2022, and signed by prime minister Anthony Albanese and governor general David Hurley

A quick add:- Under 94a of the House of Representatives Standing Orders, the Speaker of the House of Representatives can direct a disorderly member to leave the debate for one hour. During that hour, the member cannot enter the House; they cannot participate in the meeting and cannot make a speech or vote. 94a helps the Speaker keep order in the House.
"Under 94a of the House of Representatives Standing Orders, the Speaker of the House of Representatives can direct a disorderly member to leave the debate for one hour. The Speaker may give the member a warning, however if they decide their conduct is too disorderly, the Speaker can immediately suspend them from the House under 94a."
In Australia, the green chamber is the House of Representatives. The red chamber is the Senate.
The hour glasses are used for the members to speak during debates and question time.Our parliament is based on the british system government.
Technically correct is the best correct in Australian politics. Yelling “Point of Order” was always my favourite bit!
As an Australian, I congratulate you sir for watching the clown world show that is Australian politics.
10:52 94A is basically the section of the code of conduct within the parliament which allows the speaker to remove members of the chamber for disorderly conduct.
Gotta watch some of Paul Keatings greatest moments as a follow up... If you like that kind of thing.
The only snake to ever represent in parliament.
Keating's classic moments are comedy gold
94a is a parliamentary ruling made by the “speaker of the house”, to allow them to remove an “unruly” member from the room. That member cannot speak or vote & must leave the room, for 1 hour under 94a. But I’ve seen far worse things said & done in parliament, without 94a implemented.
The guy just smuggled a stick of farming home made dynamite into parliament to make his point!!!🤣🤣 That is what he pulled out of his bag 13.04. Aussie legend right there👏🏼✌🏼🇦🇺😇💥
The woman yelling in support is Julie bishop, she was our foreigne affairs minister the equivalent of your secretary of state.
94A:
Pursuant to standing order 94(a), if the Speaker considers a Member's conduct to be disorderly he or she may direct the Member to leave the Chamber[455] for one hour.
PM Gough Whitlam responded to Sir Winston Turnbull shouting at him in parliament “I am a Country member” with “I remember” garnering applause from both sides of the house.

Best chirp in the South African Parliament: Member of Parliament describes another parliamentarian as a snake. Speaker of Parliament orders the MP to retract his statement. MP: I apologise to the Honourable Mamba.
When you said this reminds you of british parliament there is a reason, we have a system referred to as the Washminster System, where weve tried to look at the washington system of america and the westminster system of england, and then try to use all the most efficient parts of both, so just the better part of each systems the idea, I dont know how effective it is and not overly educated on it, but I know thats the general idea behind it
Yes, Australia has a version of the Westminster parliamentary system of government. Although with elements borrowed from the US. Including a powerful elected Senate and a federalist system of government.
@@mindi2050 so everything I said... ?
Like in Westminster, in Australia, parliamentarians debate across the Great Table which is huge. The width was set by King Richard the Lion Heart to be "two sword's width" so that if knights lost their temper during debate and drew their swords, they could not fight and would be forced to settle differences with debate and reason. This principle still permeates Western democracy and is the defining difference with autocracies, where the leaders use force to impose their will.
There are many ancient traditions. For example the speakers in parliament stand in front of the "dispatch boxes." These are exact replicas of the silver and oak boxes made by Cromwell during the Republic, in the 17th century, in which, after laws were debated, and signed, they were put in the boxes, and after the sitting of parliament, the laws would come out of the boxes, copies made, and these would then be dispatched to every major town in the land. In the Westminster system, there are many traditions that date from hundreds of years ago. The ones in the Australian parliament were made by Westminster in London and presented to the Australian parliament as a symbol of Australian independence from Britain. As patriotic pride, all Australian members of parliament, when giving a speech, or answering a question, stand before this symbol of Australian independence.
The first Magna Carta was signed in John's reign.
I imagine the assembly of barons and bishops who met from time to time with Richard to discuss affairs of state would've happened in various places in room with table of various sizes or none at all.
It's not as if they had a formal government and opposition thing going in those days.
My hunch would be that drawing a weapon in the presence of the King would've been a bit of a no-no.
@@oakfat5178 Parliament in its modern form dates to 1707 with the Acts of Union, but the various characteristics it is based on were added piecemeal all the way back to William the Conquerer, who initiated Common Law because he had overturned all Anglo-Saxon laws and Common Law was initially supposed to be an interim innovation while he developed a replacement British Statutory Law. Common Law surprised everyone in how well it worked, and so it was never abolished. Likewise Richard the First's councils of knights were, as you suggest, an ad hoc affair, and it is probably only at Chateau Gaillard in Normandy that he had a relatively permanent council of Knights.
But ad hoc, or not, it was Richard's assemblies that are considered to be the origin of the concept of scheduled debating of laws at a table in a parliament-like manner, and the origin of the two swords width size of the table. I learned this at the parliament. I remember, as being taken into the chamber, how huge the table is, and my guide saying over his shoulder as we were walking in "of course the table is two swords wide. This standard was initiated by King Richard the Lion Heart, so that his knights could not fight when debating law, and has remained the standard ever since."
While Magna Carta was signed by John in 1215, it was not law, and was a treaty, which John broke almost immediately. As such it had very little impact on how the land was governed at first. Henry III reissued it in 1216 after removing the parts he didn't like, and it was similarly rewritten and re-issued in 1217. There were several Magna Carta's that were signed over the rest of the century, but it was the Magna Carta of 1297 that was finally written into Statute Law by Edward I, and therefore became part of the structure of how modern parliaments are organized and the legal relationship between crown and the people.
There are important differences between the Magna Carta of 1297 compared to the document John signed. Probably the most important difference is the concept of no taxation without representation which can be considered the beginnings of parliamentary representation as we understand it today, as opposed to the ad hoc councils of knights used by Richard and other earlier rulers.
That concept from 1297 would eventually become the inspiration and rallying cry for the Boston Tea Party, and the American Revolutionary War.
I find it fascinating how the many quirky things in the Westminster System developed over such a long period of time and that our legal system started with William the Conquerer making things up on the fly as he tried to supplant Anglo-Saxon culture.
@@artistjoh TLDR and what I did read sounds like dragging a lot of concepts back centuries in time from when they eventually entered the English system of government.
afaik Richard spoke little or no English, almost no time there as a monarch, and regarded the English colony as a cash cow that he left to extract money from pretty much as they pleased.
Look at what he spent his life doing - a throwback to his Viking ancestors.
There was a song about Pauline Hansen by Escape from Toytown called Fish and Chip bitch from Ipswich
Wrong. The funniest was when greens senator told Barnaby Joyce that she wasn't "one of his braindead supporters". To which he replied "you'd have to have a brain for that."😂
Ryan you are a 💯%, it’s just like a schoolyard, they throw out insults & constantly yell over each other, it’s highly unprofessional & embarrassing. And they have a habit of holding parliamentary meetings or voting in the middle of the night. Like the 40 odd % pay rises for themselves, in the middle of Covid, poor dears were overworked 😢
Hi Ryan , i hope you and your Family are All Well🥰
2:49 “ mr speaker give him a Valium “ 😂😂😂
Gotta love being an Aussie
Just so you know if the carpets and the leather benches/seats are red the debate is upper house or known as the senate. If the carpets and benches are green it's the lower house ...or known as the house of representatives
Chris Bowen that's the guy, other side broke the rules. The independent "umpire" who ignored the rule is a party member of the other side.
The hourglasses are for speeches and debates there are time limits for how long you've got
The best video you should watch is Christopher Payne calling shorten a c-bomb 😂 or any clips of bob katter
Lol. Barnaby Joyce almost popped an artery 😆
Then they go down the pub (local bar) and down a few, and it looks exactly the same, just with less seats.
I LOVE watching Thursday Lower House Question Time, when it goes off the rails, because the MPs want to get ejected and go home early. Ive sat in Question Time and it was fantastic.
Our bottom line is everyone is entitled to be free of pomp and ceremony because people are very down to earth here. But don't misunderstand that, because unless your in the group that rules you don't matter, and really it doesn't matter what they decide in parliament cos people make up the rules as they go along and that is a smart way to live if you want to survive
The 94 A woman is our parliamentary version of Harry Potter's Dolores Umbriidge. Her name is Bronwyn Bishop and I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the actress who played Dolores Umbrage based the character on that evil Bishop politician in this video.
Ah the good old days, when our politicians were known to us and transparent, and let us know what was happening in advance! These days it's sly deals, no accountability, honesty and intelligent answers are a vague concept! 😑 I love you for your attempts to bring up the tough questions Pauline, but please can you explain those bloopers! 😳 Swear him in on the Bible? 🤔 Yeah, Kevin 07 got switched off! 😄 Bronwen Bishop is missed (& Julie) 🙋 The rest of these "stars" are idiots, except for Paul Keating, the king of sarcasm and one liners (and Joe Hockey)! 😄 More 94A please! 😂 Great agricultural speech Barnaby 🐂 and wow, rumours! 😳 Good fun Ryan, more! 😌
Islam has nothing to do with ethnicity. The most populous islamic majority nation in the world is Indonesia. Islam may have started with the Arabs but there is nothing to say you have to be Arabian.
and people always presume if you are Arab you are Muslim - so not true!
In victoria ive never heard someone actually say "good arvo"
The hourglasses are used to time how long you can speak for, when the sand runs out your time is up.
And timing votes. When the bells are rung for a vote members usually have 3 minutes to enter/leave the chamber before the doors are 'locked'.
To answer the question the hour classes are used when there's a motion and and they need to do a division vote they time it with the hour classes, in parliament they call it ringing the bells.
To basically explain the houses of Parliament, the green room is the Lower House (or Congress in America), the red room is the Upper House (or Senate / House of Lords). The Speaker (and their two deputies) are nominated by the majority party's leader, usually two of their own members and one opposition (eg. 2 Democrats and 1 Republican), they are then voted on by the house. The Speaker (and Deputies when in "that" chair) abstain from all voting unless in cases of deadlock, they are also the referee, adjudicator and coordinator of proceedings according to the strict rules of conduct and debate. The President of the Senate is the same.
The people in the robes or blazers at the head of the table, are the clerks, who are actually transcribing everything formally said in the room, like a court reporter, as well as acting as the reference point for the Speaker/President regarding a point of order. There are more people in blazers at every door to the house, to secure them when there's a call for voting, and to act as serving staff for messages or the like.
Looking forward to round 2!
