Question time in parliment, What a fu#k*ng joke. it seems to be the time when they bag and back stabble eachother, none of them have an ethical bone in their body. would it be nice to see our reps actually working together for a better outcome rather than wathing them act like spoit brats. they should leave their ego's at the work together.

“Given that the majority of Australians now support marriage equality for same-sex couples, as indicated by polls and the unprecedented submissions supporting marriage equality in the parliamentary inquiries, how will you vote when the legislation comes before parliament and how do you explain your stance? Should all Australians be given the same legal and social rights, and not discriminated against on the basis of their sexual orientation?”

“ME (sometimes derogatorily referred to as chronic fatigue syndrome) affects about 90 000 Australians on current prevalence rates. It can be lifelong, severe to the point of needing help with personal care and costs the community hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Despite this, the Federal Government through the National Health and Medical Research Council has only ever funded one significant medical research project into the illness. Why is more not being done?”

“Music education is grossly underfunded in Australia, both in schools and more recently in cuts to the tertiary sector (such as the School of Music at ANU). How can we ensure that musicians receive the training opportunities necessary to nurture their talent and skills?”
