http://twitpic.com/199b4u – Kevin Rudd speaks on health #
Twitter website seems to be back up now but not the API for TweetDeck… #
#qt Unusual tactic by the govt – 10 minutes into Questions, Albanese moved 10 minutes of time for Abbott to speak on Health. #
#qt Abbott referred to Rudd as Dr. Death, Albo demanded withdrawal then moved another 5 minutes for Abbott to speak. #
#qt Rudd spoke for 15 mins, opening with a welcome back message to Mark Latham. #
#qt Abbott delivered a swingeing speech. Nevertheless, the debate is on health on the final day of Questions for 6 weeks. #
#qt Abbott asks Rudd to commit to 3 debates during the election campaign. Rudd reminds us of Abbott's failure to appear in 2007. #
#qt Tweeting on the website is dreadful…! #
@smurray38 I've been doing that…! Back up now… in reply to smurray38 #
#qt Bishop to Rudd on paper insulation in homes… and Tuckey gets booted… #
#qt Danby gets his second question to Tanner in recent weeks… amusing to those who remember the Melb Uni history… #
#qt Jamie Briggs booted… #
#qt Tanner talks of "deliberate ideological decisions" by the Howard government to run down Health… #
#qt Two more booted… Wakefield and Canning… "Can't get rid of me," says Pyne. "Don't test me," says Speaker Jenkins. #
#qt Points of order by the truckload against Gillard. Fred Daly loved quoting that old line: "If you can't run a meeting, wreck it." #
RT @samanthamaiden: Abbott ambush: #qt suspended as Speaker ejects ticket and Randall http://tiny.cc/ZQSw6 #
#qt Gillard gets a "wonderfully perceptive question" about the Gordon East Primary School – and Bradfield's Fletcher is booted, then named.. #
#qt Harry says he's sorry it's come to this… and the House divided on expelling Fletcher. #
#qt Browse the website of the Gordon East Public School whilst we wait for the division: http://is.gd/aMNiQ #
#qt Gordon East Public School has a "school plan" that would bring tears to Don Watson's eyes http://is.gd/aMNqx #
#qt I've cracked my first password!! Gordon East Public School's newsletter can be viewed with "gordoneast" http://is.gd/aMNxV #
#qt Gillard on the attack over Gordon East Public School. In absentia, Paul Fletcher gets a lesson in doing your homework. #
#qt "This has been going for how long?" asks Hockey on a Point of Order. "How would you know, you're never here," says a voice. #
#qt And Alex Hawke has spoken to a lot of unhappy Principals… #
#qt Bernie Ripoll (Oxley) booted… #
#qt So who's going to take money away from incontinent school kids? #
RT @BernardKeane: After this, watch the right-wing media compare Gillard's performance to Rudd's solid but not stunning response to Abbott. #
#qt In 108 days we've not had a single question from Abbott on the economy, says Swan. #
#qt Even Hockey couldn't say anything about the economy at the Grattan Institute, says Swan. He gave a first-year lecture on pol philosophy. #
#qt Pyne to Gillard on the Hastings Public School. A blow-out of $554,000… #
#qt Joel Fitzgibbon (Hunter-NSW) … where have I seen that face before…? #
#qt Rudd ends Question Time and says he's available for a debate with Abbott next Tuesday. #
#qt I'll be there, says Abbott, but I still want 3 debates during the election campaign. #
RT @BernardKeane: And Abbott agrees, thereby helping the Govt keep the focus on health. #
John Howard reviews Paul Kelly's "The March of Patriots" http://bit.ly/d4Xcjn (via @thomwoodroofe) #
Albo moves that the Slipper photo incident be referred to the Privileges Committee – says the impact of new technologies needs examination. #
Albo is oh-so-serious about this matter, knowing that it is really just a chance to sow seeds of division in the Opposition. #
Abbott says it's a pity his side wasn't consulted about the Privileges referral and goes on the attack about dirty politics… #
@feneleyinlondon Come off it. I haven't read such mawkish drivel in ages. "ALP folk" expect this stuff 3 days out from every election. in reply to feneleyinlondon #
It's a "fanciful, ridiculous metaphor", says Barnaby Joyce on claims Abbott gouged a billion dollars from Health. #PMAgenda #
