Show Notes

Periodically we’ll have special ‘Urgent Question’ episodes to answer your questions about how Parliament works.


In this episode we answer questions about whether Ministerial announcements to the media before they are made to MPs amounts to a contempt of Parliament, how parliamentary reform can be secured, and whether we really need a second Chamber.
