ahh yes australian politics... (Chris Bowen advises the Speaker to close the house because the member of the executive president wasn't there lol)

"Mr. Speaker there is no member of the executive president, the house is not in order, and must be shut down immediately. Standing orders are very clear. There's no member of the executive president here Mr. Speaker"

"I'll just refuse to the clerk... I'll call the clerk"

"There's no member of the executive president here Mr. Deputy Speaker. He was not here Mr. Speaker. He Was Not Here!

"...last time this happened Mr. Alexander went down to the men's room"  

"Mr. Deputy Speaker point of order, I made a point of order several moments ago. There was no Member of the Executive President. He was outside. The house should've been shut down at that moment, At That Very Moment, Mr. Deputy Speaker. You can't buy time to allow the member to walk back into the house! YOU WERE NOT HERE. YOU WERE OUTSIDE, EVERYBODY SAW IT. YOU WERE NOT PRESENT, YOU WONDERED AWAY!!"

"The member for McMahon will be seated for a second. I have referred to the clerk, the clerk has advised me to continue with the proceedings. I call the member for McMahon"

"The point of order, there was no member of the executive president. It was very clear, we all saw him outside HE WAS NOT IN THE CHAMBER. HE CAN NOT NOW CLAIM HE WAS MAGICALLY HERE THE WHOLE TIME"

"The Member for McMahon will be seated again. I'll refer to the Clark. The Clark has advised me to continue with proceedings"

"You are in the chair, I have raised a point of order, [I make] respect for the Clark. I did not make the point of order to the Clark, I made it to you! You should've ruled on my point of order at that moment. You did not! You gave the honourable member time to wander back into the chamber when he was not physically present!"

"The member for McMahon will be seated"

"What an incompetent government Mr. Speaker. House duty is not that complicated Mr. Speaker. You sit in a chair, and when your not here you admit your not here. This is a minister who couldn't ADMIT HE WAS IN HERE! COULDN'T EVEN ADMIT IT. COULDN'T EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY OR THE HONOR TO SAY SORRY I GOT IT WRONG I FORGOT TO SIT IN A CHAIR MR. DEPUTY SPEAKER. THAT WAS SUCH A COMPLICATED TASK I HAD AT HAND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. This issue is all about his government, one job Micheal over here!! This is one of the economic team. No wonder, no wonder, the economic plan of the government is failing Mr. Deputy Speaker. One of the government's economic team, one of the so-called brain trusts can't even get house duty right! And that's what we see more and more is the fact that this government is incompetent at every level. No wonder Pauline Hanson's running the show Mr. Deputy Speaker."
