Not the time or place for personal attacks

One thing I have noticed about question time in both the Senate and the House of Representatives is how condescending the comments and remarks are that the senators make about each other. Question time should be an occasion politicians use to find out the details of policies and the issues that are presently affecting Australians. It is fair enough to debate these issues because obviously there will be disagreements but I don’t believe it should be a time for personal attacks. I really admire the way our politicians can be so knowledgeable about the issues affecting their relevant areas and believe that question time is an opportunity for the respective politicians to give appropriate information and expect, at least, be listened to.
