Queensland Parliament=children in riot mode

I am depressed and disappointed; I have just returned from reporting on a Qld parliament assignment, and it was like watching kindergarten.
Is it any wonder that the people of Queensland (and Australia as a whole) are unhappy with our politicians when the said pollies carry on like a bunch of undisciplined peanuts?
Why not ask a question and then shout like a drunken sailor whilst your opposition tries to answer?
What is the point?!
Why not have members from your own side ask ass-licking questions which enable you to spout on about all the good things that your party is doing (and thereby waste valuable minutes of Question Time)? Stool pigeons? More like Comfy Recliner Peacocks.
The primary school children in the public gallery were more well behaved than the idiots on the floor.
Now I'm looking at a whole new angle for my piece; whether the image of opposition that our politicians portray has any basis in reality....do the opposing parties hang out and have sausage/beer sessions when no-one is looking? So very saddened...
