Parliamentary Rigmarole

Should we expect any better behavior from our politicians than we see anywhere else?

The answer is yes, we pay them well to represent the nations best interests and in particular their constituencies.

We also pay them, with the implied expectation that they will set an example of exemplary behavior, throughout their  term.

If they can’t do this, they shouldn't take our money.

While most meet the test, many do not seem to do so, and in principle, it’s time perhaps, that we had an independent  national body to oversee behavior at  Federal, State and Council level,  investigate alleged breaches, and be able to terminate, without recourse, those found wanting.

  I actually watched parliment yesterday  and found it to be very entertaining, even the speaker was trying not to laugh, both party's I found were wasting tax payers money
