How is he going? I have only watched once and find him a bit lack lustre thus far.

I don't care if he is lack luster. I only care that he is fair and unbiased.

So far seems to be.

The last one was so ridiculously biased it should have embarrassed the Liberal Party.

He is very timid and green so far, and the Labor party are giving him a hard time because of it.

I think he will grow into the position and do well.

Yes, watched a bit more today, he does seem to be fair. I hope he is also effective.

Does not help much to know that the PM wanted to keep Bronny in that place. One needs support in his position. Hopefully he will get it from all the other MPs.

I watched Parliament yesterday and I saw a little bit of it today and as far as I know, he hasn't ejected anyone yet unlike his predecessor who seemed to make a sport of it, I do think he is going to better. I also noticed he called for quiet and asked for withdrawals from both sides of the house, which I haven't seen for a long time, so, so far he gets a thumbs up from me.
