I love parliament. For the most part, it isn't all that important however there are events and issues that can only be adequately addressed in parliament. It is a unique forum; the rules and privileges are unparalleled. Unfortunately, so few make responsible use of it.
Lange was the greatest parliamentarian I ever saw first hand. Keating was probably his equal although I never saw him.
This clip, from around 1995 (I think), shows Keating at his best - Howard has nothing. Sadly, there's no one in federal Labor today that could come close to Keating's intensity or intelligence.

That was brilliant - so funny seeing that little rat put in his place. The only sad thing being that he somehow got elected after all of that!
