Pauline Hanson’s surprise candidate and Bob catter’s unusual oath

Pauline Hanson is not a guest to shock the Senate.

This time, however, there was no dress, like his widely convicted Burqa offer in 2017, but rather a surprise candidate for a man who, at least politically, sits at the opposite end of the spectrum.

“I would like to appoint David Pocock,” one leader of the nation said and suggested independent of the Senate President.

Perhaps what was more shocking was followed – a man who rejected the opportunity in wage increases and in political promotion.

“I’m very flattering that you put me forward,” the surprised Pocock told the chamber.

‘Politely reject the candidate’

Pocock stated that the jacket and the tie stated that as much as he disagreed with most of the Senate Conventions, this was a case in which he would maintain it and focused on representing the people of the law.

“I politely reject the candidate, but thank you,” he said before returning to the seat in the crossbreed.

The scope of the employee’s election victory brought with it in the Senate, which sees the largest party in Alp. It also stripped of Pocock’s key vote, which he previously held in the last Parliament.

After quietly returning to his place, over the parliament, the father of the house found his voice, although it may not be sought.

Loyalty to the Australian

Bob Katter stood with each other in the Cleler Clare in the House of Representatives Surtees asked parliamentary members to swear his loyalty to King Charles, his heirs and followers.

“No, I swear loyalty to the Australian people,” Katter said before I repeated it for the second time.

It was far from the first time the politician had left the script.

In the last Parliament, Senator Lidia Thorpe originally described the Queen as a column. At that time, he was forced to pronounce the oath as written. Years later, he claims that he had sworn his loyalty to the queen’s “hair”, not “heirs”.

This time, the catter’s comments were not shared with hair and bouncing and the circumstances continued.

Still licking the wounds from the election drip, the coalition broke the meeting and decided against the candidate’s president instead of supporting Labor’s Milton Dick event to return the last parliament’s role.

The steps were collected as the members of the parliament marched backwards and forward to the ceremonial procedures between the chambers.

Different -looking parliament

When representatives of the Workers’ Party are full of the Senate, it struck home on the scale of the May election.

The 123 politicians of the workers were packed as a sardine, which was a limited seat in the 76-member upper room. In the meantime, the opposition with 70 politicians had enough space to turn the cat.

Just not only the numbers that told the story, but also what the members of the chamber were dressed.

The men of the blue suits controlled opposition benches, with fewer than one in three women.

Opposite them sitting on a female -dominated workers’ Caucasus, where the number of women is so strong that it is only one person who is a shy full of coalition.

In the House of Representatives, it is even Starker, when women in the labor force form a greater amount than the opposition as a whole.

The return of the Parliament brings with it the opportunity to work not only a winning round, but also the opportunity to rub it in front of its opponents.

All you have to do is see who clicked on the first Parliament’s first speeches to see the example of that.

Ali France’s first speech

First, there will be Ali France, followed by Sarah Whitty, two women whose profits came at the expense of Liberal leader Peter Dutton and Green Director Adam Band.

Winning Dutton is the reason why so many people know the name of France.

But his story is much more than a man he won in the elections.

The former journalist, the Para athlete and the advocate of the disability France had been amputated above the knee after being attached to the car in the parking area of the mall.

His oldest son Henry died of Leukemia in early 2024, an experience that almost made him give up his long -term attempt to become a federal MP.

In the arena that men has long dominated, the story of France shows how parliament changes.

Wednesday also brings with these signs of change when Susan Ley is square against the Prime Minister of his first questionnaire as the opposition director.

The first woman to play this role, Ley, has promised that she intends to do business differently with men coming in front of her.
