I must admit that Tony Abbott bit about Latham and Trump sharing similarities is all a bit eerie now given that was well over a decade before Trump ran for President, and before Latham going full midlife crisis.

I think we can all agree that Paul Keating is the only one worth being on this list. The rest were terrible - particularly Turnbull.

The maturity level of politicians are on God level

"Simply going troppo"
Maaaate.

"He needs a mirror". This speech is legendary.

This should have just been the PJK show

“The leader of the opposition is Mr Potato Head”
Says someone from the same political party as Potato Dutton.

[publicenemy]

Didn't include : "There was never a union leader in Melbourne, that tucked his knees under more billionaire's tables, than the Leader of the Opposition." no low altitude flier. This is a pretty weak list

Australian politics is more entertaining than half of what's on American TV

[ViaMirage]

I want to see a merging of UK and Australian parliament, purely for entertainment purposes, as we all know nothing ever gets done anyways 😂

Im not a Labor supporter but Paul Keating had the sharpest tongue, he was in another league altogether when it came to debating.

[justiceg]

this is about all Australian politicians do before they retire early with a huge pension for life

[minksrule]

It's Malcom Turnball that's the sycophant!!

[ADerpyReality]

Did Abbott say that Donald Trump believes in something?

[simonmorton]

This is great, no British politician is as funny as this

[taralgasarah]

Julia Gillard dragging Abbott is iconic

[Iwannaps]

Aussie politics just looks way more fun than American politics haha I could watch this all day.

[Banana_Split_Cream_Buns]

Keating was by far the best, but there's no way a Speaker today, particularly a Labor Speaker today, would allow that.

[ngdukic]

Neither PJK or Gillard were being insulting here. They just spoke facts.

Yes, no, maybe, I don't know
Can you repeat the question?
