A reader puts it in perspective:
To clarify, then:Posted by Christian S. Dunleavy(a) the Opposition asking questions that directly relate to Government businesss = unacceptable time-wasting that must be stamped out at all costs; and
(b) an hour and a half period in the House of self-indulgent back-slapping and dissemination of all manner of trivial information which is actually designed to waste time and restrict the Opposition from doing its job of holding the Government to account = just fine and dandy!
Alrighty, then. Glad we cleared that one up.
