Question Time

[Filuwaúrdjan]

To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether he or the 'Chancellor' is responsible for industrial policy, and whether the lack of clarity on this point demonstrates that this government is interested in only its own bourgeois supporters.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

To ask the Prime Minister whether the surfeit of 'Senior Advisors' on the ministerial payroll is a good use of taxpayers money or an example of craven nepotism.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Answer the question!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Snouts in the trough!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

To ask the Prime Minister why his government has not presented an Agenda to this House despite the specific instruction of the President?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Answer the question! Shame! Shame!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

To ask the Prime Minister why neither he nor any other member of his government has yet to present a programme of government to this House despite being instructed to do so by the President? I imagine that it must be highly embarrassing to be faced with this question twice, but then that's what this government is: an embarrassment.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

To ask the Minister for Infrastructure for details as to exactly how much public money is being spent on his 'Capital Planning Committee' vanity project.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

My view is that a list of platitudes is really not the same as a clear programme of government and that the lack of the latter is really quite quite scandalous.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Mr Speaker, the Prime Minister's comparison of the Loyal Opposition is clearly a gross breach of parliamentary etiquette and I demand that he be called on to withdraw his unparliamentary remarks and perhaps be formally censured.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Mr Speaker, I thought I would raise the possibility before acting on it. I will first wait to see if the Prime Minister apologises for his boorish conduct.
