Hansard moments I think about far too often

Honourable members interjecting.

The SPEAKER — Order!

Mr Micallef — What is the difference between you and a bucket of shit?

The SPEAKER — Order! The honourable member has used an unparliamentary expression. I ask him to withdraw.

Mr MICALLEF (Springvale) — I withdraw ‘bucket’.

The SPEAKER — Order! An unqualified withdrawal please!

I’ve had an amazing summer presenting my research on representation networks in the UK Parliament! In July I attended the @sgparliaments.bsky.social conference in Barcelona. Got some great feedback, did a tour of the Catalan parliament and got some sightseeing in…

Back from a fun week in Greece for @ecpr.bsky.social 's General Conference! It was great to hear such interesting research on democratic innovations, particularly surrounding intersectionality, institutionalisation and new understandings of the political economy of the field.

Myself and @gracecooper1.bsky.social presented our paper on climate mini-public professionals in the UK, which uses a qualitative social network analysis to understand the dynamics behind deliberative standards and practices. Massive thanks to everyone who spoke to us and engaged with this research!

Not long till I’m off to the airport for the @sgparliaments.bsky.social conference in Barcelona to present my research on select committees and representation networks. It’s also my first international conference which is equal measures nerve wracking and exciting!

Another very busy #PSA25 conference over :) Started the week by officially joining the @psa-parliaments.bsky.social team. Chaired an excellent panel on Parliament as a workplace, and then presented with @katelong.bsky.social on our upcoming paper on climate mini-publics
