While we're talking NDIS...

[karliandjacko]

Should the LOO and his team been in attendance (they are paid to be there) for the introduction of the legislation yesterday?

I saw some photos of both times the NDIS was introduced. The first time hardly anyone on the opp side attended. Yesterday they all chose to ignore the event.

They should be ashamed, imo.  Abbott said it's (disability policy) waffly talk that should not be discussed in question time.

On the  net (if you look around) it also has Troll factor for the cruelest of trolls.

T some it seems that the disabled are  targets and something to resent and be jealous of

I would imagine there has been thousands of posts around the net on the subject. Care to post even one example  were anyone is cruel resentful or jealous of the disabled.

I actually listen to Parliament.... I have it on in the car.. I also have it on in the house... (not all the time but when I do housework) 

I hear a LOT of stuff that is really interesting and even more that is so totally boring... even if it is important... 

This introduction is just standard procedure.. I think you need a certain number of people present to have a bill accepted and passed.... it is up to the government to make sure that there are enough MP's sitting to make sure what they want passed is passed... 

I bet the only reason there were that many mp's was because by law they needed that many members.

"I am not sure what you are bleating about but I expect all MP's to be in Parliament when it is on."

You will find that they are "in Parliament", but not just wasting time sitting on their bottom in the Chambers, especially when a bi-partisan bill is up for "reading", and by convention there is usually no debate on a bill’s first or introductory reading.

Why do you think there are "Bells" in our parliament?
