How do we get Julie Bishop sacked?

[donnashuggy]

I mean seriously, she is showing absolute bias. It could not be more blatant.

Madam Speaker Bronwyn Bishop - partisan, contradictory and in error

First the derogatory nickname used for the Labor Leader of the Opposition was ruled a description then in the next breath It was not a description. 

Either way the new Speaker found using a nickname was not unparliamentary, despite such use appearing to fly in the face of at least two sections of House of Representatives Standing and Sessional Orders** which were not included in those government amendments to these orders that were voted in at 12.44pm on 13 November 2013.

Excerpt from House Of Representatives Hansard of 13 November 2013:

Mr PYNE (Sturt—Minister for Education) (09:22): The reason standing orders should not be suspended on this occasion is that the coalition won the election two months ago and today we want to introduce the carbon tax repeal bills. On the draft daily program, the carbon tax repeal bills are listed for debate. Labor has demonstrated for the last 20 minutes that they will do anything to stand in the way of lowering electricity prices in this country. 

'Electricity Bill' Shorten, as his first political act in the parliament, has desired to get his Manager of Opposition Business to block the repeal of the carbon tax. 

Mr Burke: I rise on a point of order. A large number of comments were made yesterday about people being referred to by correct titles.To have the Leader of the House immediately abrogating that is inappropriate and his comment should be withdrawn. 

The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House was not addressing a member by any title; he was merely using a description and I do not find the term unparliamentarily. [sic]

Mr Burke: On the point of order, Madam Speaker, I am not sure whether you heard the description that was given— 

The SPEAKER: It was not a description. 

Mr Burke: but what we had was something that even the Prime Minister yesterday acknowledged could not be used within the chamber. 

The SPEAKER: I have already ruled on the point of order and you are raising the matter a second time.

** 64 No Member to be referred to by name

In the House and the Federation Chamber, a Member shall not be referred to by name, but by one of the following forms, as appropriate:

(a) the Member’s ministerial office (e.g. Prime Minister, Minister for Defence, Attorney-General);

(b) the Member’s parliamentary office (e.g. Leader of the House, Leader of the Opposition, Chief Government Whip);

(c) the Member’s electoral division (e.g. Member for Adelaide).

89 Offensive words

A Member must not use offensive words against:

(a) either House of the Parliament or a Member of the Parliament; or

(b) a member of the Judiciary.

Note:

The new Nationals Member for Page was in the Chamber and voted with other Government MPs to gag debate on the Speaker's ruling.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

PRIME Minister Tony Abbott has promised a "respectful" new parliament when it assembles for the first time next week, promising the Labor years will soon fade like "a bad memory".

Addressing the West Australian Liberal branch at its annual conference on Saturday, Mr Abbott pledged a parliament that "discusses the issues, rather than abuses individuals".

The prime minister said the parliament wouldn't impugn the motives of opponents or trash their reputations.

Lasted two days.......

All the proof you need she lacks any respect and deserves none...

Even if they are sacked they will not go.................

It appears Sophie will not accept no as an answer  from her constituents or the electoral commission going by our

parliaments website. Maybe she thought nobody would notice???

... I guess it's only been 2 months.??????????

Good question .

I realise  that you meant Bronwyn Bishop.

She is very wishy washy.  I said in a past thread that I didn't think she was strong enough for the job, and I am right so far.  Today she didn't hear something which warranted a withdrawal, so she assumed the objection was right and asked the member to withdraw.  That is pathetic.
