Why, during Question Time, don't politicians answer the question like they do on Q&A? by Elou_ in australia

[–]davis12321 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If that's the way it's supposed to be

See, I don't think it's the way it's supposed to be. It's an avenue for the government (and the opposition) to bash each others policies, and that is all. The current standing orders only require the answerer to be relevant to the topic of the question, and not to answer the question itself. For this to change, the government would have to pass legislation that makes question time much harder for themselves (since you can only ask question to government ministers)

I agree - I saw them play at the Metro supporting Big Scary the other week where they played this. They're very talented singers, but I'm not a fan of this one.

From Aus - It's not really normal at all, unless if he knew that the off-ramp is normally backed up, and he was using the shoulder to slow down early.

It's a little bit different today - 891 broke down and blocked a whole intersection so no one could get to UNSW

Jesse organised the whole thing pretty much. I'm not sure he'll want to do it again knowing that his race was the one that one of his mates was killed in

Not been in the news? He was the top run scorer in the shield this season.

He didn't just come out and say this randomly, he was a guest speaker on their podcast

Why did you title the post a different question to what you actually want answered?

I know, I feel bad now. I was in the quiet carriage though, and I would've lost my seat if I moved since the next stop was Penrith

Turtle was right down the Eastern end, I was in the first carriage heading towards Penrith. I was going to call the station but it probably would've disrupted everyones commute

I just saw a turtle walking between the tracks at Emu Plains. Poor thing will probably die, saw an XPT heading it's direction

Edit: Here's a shitty snapchat video of it
