✍️ Australian parliament's question time is still plagued by bullying and a "mob mentality" despite having behavioral standards in place.
👉 21 MPs have been ejected from question time 31 times in the first six months of the 48th parliament 👉 Crossbench MPs warn of a "mob mentality" and bullying behavior 👉 Some MPs suggest amending standing orders to hold party leaders accountable for backbench unruliness 👉 The speaker wants to see fewer people leaving the chamber due to disorderly conduct 👉 Some MPs argue that question time is a waste of time and needs to be reformed
