In a nutshell, the governing parties in Victoria now lack a majority on the floor of the lower house with about a year of their 'fixed' 4 year parliament yet to run. Because of alleged bias in favour of the bereft government, the speaker has become a target for the vitriol of 'those opposite' to the extent that he shut-down parliament altogether for the last fortnight due to 'persistent unruliness'. Resuming the bun-fight yesterday and, with only a week left of the pre-xmas session, he produced another (on the face of it) questionable stunt by banning two opposition members from participation in proceedings for 6 days (aka the only sitting days remaining) before the circus moves into holiday mode! This action miraculously restores the government's one seat majority until the parliament next meets in 2014. Wow!
Unbelieveable?! Not the action itself so much... as the fact that we continue to pay these worthless buffoons to carry on with their moronic capers!!!
