Australian Parliament
Madam Speaker Kicks Arse
Leader Of The Opposition Kicks The Prime Minister’s Arse
Nice Quip About Richard Nixon
In both the Australian and British Parliaments there are rules about language, which do not inhibit much. You can say that what another member has said is untrue but to call that person a liar would lead to the Speaker demanding a withdrawal of that word, on threat of being kicked out. “Dishonesty, mendacity and hypocracy … won office based on a lie” seems to be OK here. The only warning that he gets is for referring to the Prime Minister as “Julia”, her name, rather than Prime Minister.
