- Every so often when I turn the TV on to hopefully watch something light and interesting I see Parliament in session . I stay to see if something worth while might be being talked about. But no, there is only loud cat calls and raucous interruptions . Especially if Scott Morrison has been asked a question. The opposition does not want to hear the answer , is not interested in the answer and makes as much noise as possible.
It seems to be the accepted behavior , this rudeness , this constant heckling . It actually should be very unacceptable behavior , I am surprised the Speaker does not kick all the rowdy interjectors out of the chamber.
Every so often the young school children are allowed to attend one of these "entertaining" afternoons. What kind of image are they getting of adult behavior when the so called top people in our Country behave like unruly morons. Our elected representatives , people we think might be able to run the Country , make sensible decisions , do their best , and they behave like a TV comedy of unruly idiots being as rude as possible.
When you see Nasty Nancy tearing up a copy of the State of the Union speech and pulling faces, what example is she giving. When you view the Ladies in White behaving as I have described our Opposition behaving in our Parliament what example are we setting for our young people.
We wonder what makes them follow stupid ideas and join in marches and rallies protesting about all manner of things. Making placards and thinking all sorts of very negative thoughts , then shouting them out loud in the streets. If we set a good example and showed proper polite adult behavior particularly in our Parliament maybe we would be half way there to presenting our young ones with some form of behavior to emulate.
All I can say , I can't stand listening to, or watching such unruly and rude behavior, so I don't know why they bother to film and present their dreadful afternoons on TV. Fortunately we still have some schools which favour a well presented and polite image from their students but what a shame we cannot show them a session in Parliament which shows something they could be proud of instead of coming away feeling so let down.
