I am was listening to question time in the Australian Government Senate today.

ABC Radio covers this period.

The level of behaviour was shocking and the President at times was beside herself with the effort needed to control rowdy, raucous interjections and comments shouted willy nilly across the chamber

Never ever should groups of school children and students be taken into the public gallery during this period of exchange. The example being set was one of abhorrence.

And these are the people leading the country.
