I guess the mad monk thinks we all have the stereotypical 'memory of a goldfish'....
It is a promise......another to be broken, that parliment will be respectful

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.
If anyone tried to go over the top, new Speaker Bronwyn Bishop would sort them out.
"And I am confident that after just a few weeks of the new parliament - that parliament that diminished our policy and embarrassed our citizens over the last three years - will soon seem like just a bad memory," Mr Abbott said.

It might not be a bad idea to make a comment AFTER a period of time once to Parliament has been in session instead of consulting the Labor crystal ball 🙂
But I don't really expect that to happen

Says he who led by example in abusing process and refusing to respect anyone and encouraging the personal attacks.
He must be the one with the memory of the proverbial goldfish.

A respectful Parliament ? This utterance coming from Abbott ??
Don't make me laugh. How soon we forget the antics of Pyne et al. - or how soon Abbott would like us to forget them.
Are they going to strap him into his chair ?

Aretha Franklin would have forgotten more about respect than those muppets ever knew.
