I enjoyed that she didn't know how long it's been since the chamber was formed and kept stumbling over herself. Formed in 1870 so 153 years for anyone interested. What makes her think the harsher punishment for the men than the woman has to do with race rather than gender? There's absolutely societal precedent for males receiving harsher punishment than females, there's even a colloquial term for it. P** pass. She absolutely should have suffered the same fate. It's utterly stunning that she doesn't understand what she did and why it was such a serious matter. Imagine if a couple of politicians from the cross bench jumped up in Westminster in the middle of the house sitting and started chanting with megaphones inside the chamber completely disrupting the session. Do you know what the parliaments act says should happen to those people in Westminster? That's right, expulsion. The issue is not their desire to protest. The issue is WHERE they chose to partake in that protest and the manner in which they did so. There is a way to bring attention to your issue inside the chamber, and that doesn't involve megaphones or protest. It simply involves the introduction and debate of a bill proposal. If you want to chant and protest and cause a be ruckus, go outside. Yes, that we're talking about the expulsion absolutely distracts from the gun control issue. We're talking about expulsion and protest instead of gun control, it can't be classified as anything but a distraction. But they got some free good will press and a story to rally a particular section of voters with whom they might have been slipping in ratings. So alls well that ends well.
