The Advertiser:
Talks to make House more friendly :
"Dr Such said he would like to see Parliament adopt the Victorian system of having sittings from 9.30am to 9.30pm, with no sittings after that time."
I have never seen the sense of politicians staying up all night and falling asleep over their bills. It's a silly approach , probably founded in some obscure tradition. People think and operate better when they are in good health and they have slept and rested. Political debate needs to be well researched and well presented. Lack of sleep is not helping the level of debate nor a balanced approach to policy making. I also thoroughly approve of removing seamless integration between work and home. There is work and there is home. People need a life and if they need work to give them a raison d'être then I think we need to help them discover all the wonders of the world. Life is not work and work isn't life and I want politicians to be well educated, well rested, healthy, animated thinkers who can bring their life experience to policy making.
