While on the subject of Abbott’s articulation, is there a legal limit to the number of times an MP is permitted to say ‘Madam Speaker’ during Question TIme? Abbott sometimes gets seven in during 60 seconds – that’s not counting the false starts of “Ma…Ma…Ma”.
This could be a new game for the betting agencies ie: what are the odds on Abbott getting to 8…or 10 during a single minute?
