watching politicians live on TV...

Is there a drinking game involved? 'Take one shot for every Tolkien pun that is slipped into the debate.'

 

[Gildor]

Great points being made! Everyone is voicing support for The Hobbit films! Many are voicing concern for workers rights. Some are criticizing the Australian Union. (this represents that last 10 minutes).

It's interesting being a voyeur on another countries government work.

 

[duats]

This is really, really interesting.

Thank you for this.

Carol Beaumont of labour sticking it to the foreign corporates!

And now the Greens! Booyah for the greens! Concerned about bills being made at behest of foreign entities and affront on sovereignty.

Did they just say the bill wasn't accepted?

I'm confused [unsure].

 

[Owain]

 

[duats]

This is out of my depth.

 

[Gildor]

now their reading it a second time, and discussing further.

 

[Owain]

Changes in effect to what is being proposed in The Hobbit bil. Those changes were I believe denied. The Motion to pass the bill, it appears has been approved.

Still listening though.

 

[duats]

Thank you for the clarification.

 

[Owain]

Not sure what's going on right now. Sounds like they are still debating.

No problem... my pleasure.
