The clamour emanating from
The clamour emanating from Parliament is like listening to children playing in an amusement arcade, but how can we forget they are a bunch of raucous youths just having a good time? It's amazing how things get done when they waste a whole day bickering about issues of less importance, instead of discussing how to use aid money for the benefit of the people, Employment for the unemployed, find ways to get people work, surely with all the degree holders in Government one should be able to come up with some worthwhile project that would give people work. Why not discuss how to improve the living standards of the people that need to live in a suitable house - instead of arguing over how "plush" a house the Premier should occupy? It's of utmost importance to find out why the Government is unable to collect revenue. As usual, when money is involved the house is in uproar - accusation and counter accusation being flung across the bench- what a sight. The Speaker is like unto a teacher presiding over a classroom full of unruly children, and the only way to stop their antics is to let them out early. For all the hoo ha the Premiers 'will' will always prevail. It's a pity the PM can't leave the debacle over the Tongasat affair till the court completes its finding, then if he's not happy with its conclusion, then he can over rule the courts like everything else if he so wishes - why not? He's in charge.
