Then they are joined by Greens MP for Brisbane, Stephen Bates! (39:53) How is the campaign going as he looks to repeat his shock 2022 win? Why did he call Dutton ‘Temu Trump’ in Question Time?

Prayer is 'absurd' in politics: According to Greens MP Abigail Boyd

The Slippery Slope

Prayer is 'absurd' in politics: Greens MP The NSW Greens have renewed a push to abolish Christian prayers in state parliament, saying the tradition is "absurd" and alienating to the general community. "I think it is absurd," Greens MP Abigail Boyd told AAP of the tradition. "When I worked at Kmart, we did not have to stand and listen to The Lord's Prayer before we opened all the registers up," she added. "I think most people in the real world think that it is quite extraordinary." Momentum to remove the Christian tradition from public institutions is growing across the country, according to Rationalist Society of Australia president Meredith Doig. "People are wanting change, and that includes change to the tradition of privileging one religion over another," Dr Doig told AAP. NSW councils including Shoalhaven and Wagga Wagga had already opted to switch to a moment of quiet reflection, she said. In Victoria, the Mildura Rural Council has received a motion from councillor Jodi Reynolds to replace prayer with an affirmation. "A prayer is something that is said in your home (or) in your church. The council chamber is a workplace," Ms Reynolds said. The tradition also stifled diversity on the council, she said. "The more diversity that you can get in any governing body ... the more that chamber can represent your community, the better decisions you make." "A prayer is something that is said in your home (or) in your church. The council chamber is a workplace," Ms Reynolds said. Ms Boyd previously launched an unsuccessful motion to have the prayer removed in 2019. Any motion to remove the prayer from Australian parliaments would not be supported by Liberal MP Tanya Davies. "It is a reminder to all MPs to serve with humility, conviction, compassion, justice and equity," she told AAP. A spokesperson from NSW Labor said they did not support the motion. Motions to alter the tradition were stridently opposed by outgoing Labor MP Walt Secord, whose office was inundated with calls against the idea when it was first floated. "Surprisingly adherents to non-Christian faiths, including Hindus and Muslims, saw it as an attack on all people of faith, not just The Lord's Prayer," he said in 2019. This is just my opinion.

Parliament descended into momentary chaos yesterday when Nationals MP Pat Conaghan called a point of order objecting to the state of undress of the member for Griffith, Greens MP Mex Chandler-Mather - because he was not wearing a tie. Speaker Milton Dick dismissed Conaghan's concerns and allowed the young Greens MP to proceed with his question to the Prime Minister on public housing. But the fracas has raised a question about what counts as proper work attire post pandemic, after we all worked in our pyjamas for two years. Is the noose that has hung around the necks of men for centuries an antiquated relic of times yore? Will judges don jeans and public servants get about in Reebok pumps? and does this all mean that society is disintegrating even further than it already has? Or is it that men and women's formal fashion has evolved beyond what has passed down from Croatian mercenaries who wore traditional knotted neckerchiefs to hold the top of their jackets together? Today on Please Explain, national fashion editor Damien Woolnough joins Nathanael Cooper to discuss the history and the future of men's formal fashion.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
