Chris BeazerA cardboard parliament
March 17th 2008 09:13
Unfortunately, itís not surprising the reaction Kevin Rudd received from the opposition whilst absent from a parliamentary sitting. Rather than making himself available for the kind of jocular outbursts we have come to expect from the sacred halls of federal parliament, he was visiting a NSW indigenous community and the flood-ravaged city of Mackay in Queensland.
In response to Rudd's no show, the federal opposition warned it will disrupt parliament again every Friday the house sits.
I may be a little premature in my thinking and I hope that iím not but it is very refreshing to have a Prime Minister who is actually on the ground seeing what is happening and hopefully acting on his experience rather than wasting our time and money arguing in Canberra.
Seeing as on Friday Canberra was filled with overpayed children doing cardboard cutouts at tax payers expense I am happy our PM was actually doing something useful.
What is the point in attending parliament if it descends into the circus we witnessed on Friday. We've had more than ten years of that and not surprisingly nothing was done.
