Utterly unprecedented? Garbage. Typical misleading tactics.

Robert Menzies moved a motion of no confidence in the speaker (Sol Rosevear) in 1946. The debate at one point saw Harold Holt suspended from the house.

If it was good enough for the Liberals then, why is it so outrageous for Labor to do it now?

Your last question is rhetorical isn't it?

Normally the speaker is biased, we know this. But for one side to actually come out and say they are the MOST biased? hmmm, tells me that she must be pretty biased. Duchess Bishop must quit.

No it tells you how biased and childish this bunch of ALP members are.
Dreyfus has deserved the boot many times and not got it under a Labor speakership.
Anna Burke was very biased and allowed the ALP to do whatever they pleased and continually fail to answer questions.
She has no credibility or right to criticise anyone.

Actually it's a question I wouldn't mind seeing someone try to answer.

Undecided

I think he wants to bury the story about the basher having his worst week yet as PM that is even doing the rounds in News lmd papers.

Rudd isn't PM anymore and hasn't been in the news for a while??? Huh

That's right. These leftards just can't accept the fact they lost. They think their messiah is still PM.

Pathetic, leftards, just pathetic.

The speaker should be independent and not belong to any political party

http://www.independentaustralia.net/australia/australia-display/an-independent-a...

The Speaker, Deputy Speaker and the President, Deputy President of the Senate should be nominated by the Governor-General. They must not be an MP or senator.

I said this back August 2012 and don't come on and say I am only saying because of how Bishop is acting now

I have seen Bronwyn Bishop as speaker a few times, and I have to admit I was surprised at how blatantly she displayed her bias.
She does not even pretend to be fair or even handed, which does seem to give legitimacy to Labor putting forward the motion they did, and in the words they chose to do so.
I know people disparage Slipper for his previous transgressions, but you could see he really did try to fulfill the role of speaker as fairly, and honorably as he could, and I think it must be a long time since we have had such a cavalier disdain for the honour needed in the role of speaker, as displayed by Bishop.

Yes, in spite of his other failings and problems, I always thought that Slipper was one of the best Federal Speakers we have had.

Perhaps you missed parliament on tv under Burke.
So why are you here debating stuff you are ignorant of.
I saw it I know how biased she was even Jenkins was biased but you didn't see the Coalition arc up the way these prats do. Slipper was probably the best of the 3 of them under Labor. Bishop is IMO not doing a good job, but then they aren't making her life easy are they.

I'm not altogether sure what you are referring to but how is it possible to lie about a topic about which the truth is not even known? That is a logical fallacy.
