The speech delivered in a practically empty senate chamber, went feral almost immediately. It comprised a 'welcome' of PM Tony Abbott to visit Western Australia in the lead-up to a re-run of last September's aborted senate election in that state. Scott Ludlum, a Greens party senator standing for re-election, was speaking with his tongue firmly in cheek, because his dissertation was delivered as if using a verbal cattle prod on the Prime Minister.
The question I'm left to ask is 'Why were the president, Ludlum and one government senator the only members attending the session? On the face of it, this apparent dereliction of duty by so many of our highly paid parliamentary representatives, is nothing short of scandalous!
