House Proceedings - Debate on an Amendment to Sessional Order 65(a)

[@GoldenLion2004]

Crossbenchers have a very valid point which I'm glad was acted on, but it's still farcical to see 151 grown adults spend an hour debating what order they get to ask questions in.

[@blueknight07]

I'd love for the coalition mps to actually be punished for wasting everyone's time. They're making light of serious issues and are bitter losers

[@Amazing41000]

Yes finally this week it started to happen. Two pointless point of orders happened during question time and the speaker ejected both opposition members

[@Keidee96]

Having had a look through Hansard, the previous government didn’t not have question time running until 3:30 on normal occasions, nor were they able to fit in 22 questions…

[@jameswright5119]

Give each cross bencher party 1 question each to be asked before the opposition gets to ask their questions for the remainder of the session

[@lynettekomidar2819]

what a waste of time. Give them 12 questions then move they no longer be heard

[@lfricmunuc4534]

Are you planning on uploading more from the HoR?

[@adrianochiro4299]

So many billable hours in that room while productivity moves at a snail’s pace.

[@jameshenrie]

They need to look at other commonwealth countries question time and period.

[@mark-shane]

You have too manmy politicians. 9 sitting days since new parliament. I suggest Government isnt held to account

[@jameshenrie]

They should have less government questions and focus more on opposition questions ---- opposition parties are suppose to make government account. They should also reduce time of answers and cross bench question time. There should be no point of order as well like Canada
