(9 mins) A new record (in lows) was set on Thursday in Parliament (27 Nov) when eighteen ALP members were ejected from Question Time. Naturally, the Coalition lost that little battle with a score of nil. The session starts in complete silence for a condolence motion for the late Senator Reg Withers who died this week at age 90. Withers was known as the toe-cutter and was the architect of the Liberal Partys blocking actions in the Senate in 1975 which led to Goughs dismissal. Give them ten minutes, or give them another hour, and you can see precisely how puerile and immature they can be - especially Christopher Pyne. Mind you, old Bronnie needs to take a good look at herself, as toward the end she was just throwing people out (randomly using her own words) for maybe taking a well-expressed point of order, and in Kelvin Thompsons case, simply asking the minister to table a public document being quoted. If you watch right to the end, youll see Christopher Pyne referring to Tanya Plibersek by an appalling phrase, which even he was forced to withdraw. Ive managed to keep it down to less than half a minute per ejection, and hopefully have it remain in context. There were some amazingly stupid things also said that didnt make the cut, alas, but if youd like to see the full session, you can go here: parlview.aph.gov.au/mediaPlayer.php?videoID=244819&operation_mode=parlview&action=playMedia&segment=3 Heres a list of the members ejected - sequentially (that word is of significance, youll see...) * Ed Husic (Chifley, NSW) * Michelle Rowland (Greenway, NSW) * David Feeney (Batman, Vic) * Richard Marles (Corio, Vic) * Julie Collins (Franklin, Tas) * Nick Champion (Wakefield, SA) * Clare ONeil (Hotham, Vic) * Joel Fitzgibbon (Hunter, NSW) * Terri Butler (Griffith, Qld) * Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, NSW) * Michael Danby (Melbourne Ports, Vic) * Jill Hall (Shortland, NSW) * Kelvin Thompson (Wills, Vic) * Melissa Parke (Fremantle, WA) * Matt Thistlethwaite (Kingsford Smith, NSW) * Pat Conroy (Charlton, NSW) * Graham Perrett (Moreton, Qld) * Alannah MacTiernan (Perth, WA) I didnt include it in the footage, but at the end Bronwyn Bishop looked at her ejection list and said a number of members booted out were from Victoria and therefore must have wanted to get back and campaign for the state election today. Not true, Bronnie, when you look at the distribution, its purely in line with the proportion of Victorians (indeed any state) in the parliament anyway. Ah, these Liberals love to draw conclusions based on their convenience rather than facts, dont they?
