Each Friday, Crikey will endeavour to bring you the fun-filled entertainment that currently is Parliamentary Question Time.
Giggle as new speaker Harry Jenkins attempts to make Wilson Tuckey toe the line.
Check out the strange new seating arrangments (hello down the back there, Peter Costello.)
Wince as Wayne Swan flubs it. Admire the cool, collected twin-set-and-pearl conversational style of Julie Bishop. Marvel at the magpie-like warblings of Julia Gillard.
It won’t be this fun for long, so enjoy it while it lasts.
