When you compare our committee hearings with the American ones that the senate runs, it's amazing the difference between the two.
Probably because senators tend to have been lawyers before becoming politicians so know how to grill people properly, whereas we have a collection of MPs who are career politicians from the day they left school to where they are now.Comment

Originally posted by Not Losing Any Sleep View PostAs with Hodge, its all about a bunch of second tier politicians who are out of their depth trying to score points and make headlines and look good on TV.

Anybody who thinks that the PAC is anything more than a kangaroo Court filled with second rate politicians looking to make headlines at their victims expense, is deluded.Best Forum Adviser & Forum Personality of the Year 2018.
