Tony Abbott kicked out of Parliament

 

Tony Abbott was kicked out of a parliament session due to “unparliamentarily behaviour” after he accused Julia Gillard of being a liar and did not withdraw his statement properly. He is the fourth opposition leader to be removed from a parliament session in Australia’s history.

Australian parliament members are often made fun of and mocked by the public and they are often seen as idiots. Although when they do things like this it makes them seem unprofessional and it fuels the public banter over how our government runs and how they feel the members in parliament are unfit for the job.

It is shocking sometimes the treatment that the parliament members are given by the public, yet no one in the public would want to do the job themselves. The members of parliament need to be given more respect, but first they should improve their public image - by possibly not doing things such as Tony Abbot did in parliament.
