True! But these Pollies are walking out while on the job are they not? Dereliction of duty??

@BromleyMatthew No, walking out against racist rubbish like Hanson's speech is precisely what we vote for them to do. -
We? Some see parliament as a forum for debate. Walk out= ignoring the issues that some people vote to address.

That was a speech. Not a debate. Get your thoughts in order. They have 6 years to debate, so stop crying.

Yet in order to debate and refute the arguments they need to know what they are. That requires listening!

It's 2016 - there are cameras and transcripts will follow, and yet you think they should sit down and listen?

No- one is entitled to an audience. If you think it's not worth listening to you don't have to listen to it. Simple.
-
But they are paid senators. Maybe their job is to listen to all those speeches? Either way it's not a free speech issue.
