The Bicentenary Debate: This House Isn't What it Used to Be

As the Union welcomes back 250 former Presidents and Officers to celebrate its Bicentenary, we welcome some of the finest former Presidents in the Union’s existence to debate the highs and lows of our long and controversial history.
The audio for this event was unfortunately compromised by accidental radio interference from a nearby organisation. We are working on cleaning it, and will replace this video when we are successful.
In the Chair: Amy Gregg, President of the Union (Lent 2015)
Teller for the Ayes: Stephen Parkinson, Vice-Chairman of the 2015 Steering Committee
Teller for the Noes: Alessandro Forzani, Chairman of the 2015 Steering Committee

Please sort out this video, rereord it properly, audiovisual quality as it stands is certainly below standards, for two centuries.....whats what's been going on? to celebrate like this! 💔

[@everythingisupsidedown9593]

Really think you should keep this private - how are you not embarrassed by organising and then sharing this? Wow.

[@Gatts12]

Despite the content being usually top notch, the audio and video quality is painful. The video looks and hears like a 90's amateur recording.

[@mrfr87]

Audio is crap. Sort it out who ever is uploading this.

[@asuicidemachine]

***** Specifically, how surprising is it?

[@GordoNLuv]

asuicidemachine Unimaginably surprising!

[@wilverbal]

I find it depressing that a video with such horrible sound managed to get seventeen upvotes.

[@janakiebalasuriya1032]

Poor recording. Sounds were not clear at all.

[@tza9397]
