Leaving aside the squeaky indignations of our inadequate prime minister, and the frankly boring questions by the opposition leader. what exactly is the purpose of this braying, deluded clown show? We don’t get anything of use, we don’t get anything except question avoidance and grandstanding followed by someone shouting ‘more’ so that others nearby will also make the same noise. As if shouting a noise makes the point rather than the brain of the person supposed to be in charge.

I can switch it off but I also don’t understand what the actual use of this excercise is.

    Once upon a time the use of the exercise was to… question the PM. Nowadays it’s little more than a tool for political point scoring.

    I’m with you, I want to watch but I also want the PM to actually answer a bloody question every now and then. I feel there needs to be some kind of requirement for the PM’s response to actually answer the question given.

    I would even much rather they just say “I don’t have than information to hand” or “I can’t answer that question right now but will provide a response within X timeframe” rather than waffle and spin their way to their preferred talking point that they think will appeal to the voters.
