Alcopops

"Senator Nigel Scullion said he missed the division because he was holding an impromptu meeting in a stairwell."

Yes, those impromptu stairwell meetings are a real bind. The  alcopops tax lost by one vote, but it is getting a bit predictable as to who is going to hijack the government bills...all the time, every time and it is wearing a bit thin. We actually need politicians who are here to do the job, who take it seriously and who are going to be raising issues in a well considered way. Opposition for the sake of it is making us laugh because it no longer sounds valid. I believe whle heartedly in every bill being thoroughly analysed and considered. I believe loopholes and erroneous thinking should be picked up so that we have bills which are solid and will serve us well. This is more of the silly kid behaviour and it's a shame. A real shame.
