📰 What Happened
A Coalition MP was ordered out of question time in federal parliament after swearing at the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. The outburst came on a noisy day in the House.
It was the same day new inflation figures landed at 4.3%. Shadow treasurer Angus Taylor used the numbers to attack Labor over what he called out-of-control spending.
🔍 The Backstory
Question time is the daily slot when MPs question ministers. It is often loud, and the Speaker regularly removes members for bad behaviour.
The day also brought a bomb threat at Parliament House, which federal police responded to. Payman apologised to independent MP Helen Haines for comments made after an alleged attack on her.
🎯 Why It Matters
