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!

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!
