Whatever you do don't make jokes about Larissa Waters's main claim to fame.

If you mean her breastfeeding in Parliament, I haven't got a problem with it.

If she had a kid squarking with her during parliament or a work meeting, I'd have an issue, but feeding a baby, no probs.

Close, but the comments didn't include the baby!

A bit like saying it's ok to bring a firecracker into the chamber as long as it doesn't go off, but I guess they don't squawk much when feeding, and it's entirely appropriate that there be the odd little vomit during parliament. Still, bringing a small child into an important business meeting is the kind of statement-making, self-absorbed thing I'd expect a Greens senator to do.

Otherwise, it's the kind of behaviour that's best ignored until it stops.

Having listened to question time many times on the radio, I expect the baby was the only one with anything interesting to say.

I do get your point, I suppose being an MP is one of the few jobs you could actually do it in, so the whole statement thing rings true.

All normal breast feeding women who return to work and put the rugrat in daycare or whatever express breastmilk into a bottle.

for my mind though, she could breastfeed in Parliament without necessarily impacting her ability to do her job, so why not?

....But probably not the only one with continence problems.

And now, just for fun - a Federal Minister resigns from Cabinet because he may be a dual Italian/Australian citizen:

Anyone laying bets on when this will take out a Wun Noishun MP? - oh, wait a minute - they don't have any, much, do they?

Good that intends to try and fight it.

Bloody mothers.

Bloody mothers.

We get the blame for everything!

What do you look like?

What a terrible loss for Australian democracy. Ludlam has been an outstanding Senator, head and shoulders above most of his kind and his voice of sanity and reason will be sadly missed.

Note that he arrived in Australia as a very young child and had no idea that he was technically also a New Zealand citizen until last week. Note also that he immediately notified the appropriate authorities. (Compare with that dishonest clown Abbott who is still refusing to own up or provide evidence of his citizenship.)

This has to be the ultimate.... I know I'm 50, but I just wet myself

No family album??? was he born in the 14th century?

He was three years old, Stui. How much do you remember from when you were three. And - unlike Abbott - he has been upfront and honest and outed himself.

It gets better as I read thru the thread... Tannin... please you are killing me right now

Oh "hey mum... have we ever been in another country"..... "Do we always have fush un chups on Fridays?"
