Lights go out in Parliament

- As Kevin Fudd continues his gasbagging in the House Of Representatives chamber in defence of the ETS during Question Time, the lights go out as a thunderstorm hits Canberra. Opposition members warned the Government that this is the sort of thing we can expect if Australia signs energy-reduction schemes like the Kyoto Protocol while more and more people occupy this planet to consume more and more energy, thereby causing blackouts such as these.
The blackout (said to be caused by a lightning strike to a nearby substation) occurred at 2.59pm, right before the ABC was due to end coverage anyway, so we were lucky to have been able to see this footage.
Like a bunch of kids at a school when the power went out
This happened at my school and the hundred something school boys sitting in the dark managed to behaviour more maturely than this sorry lot.
Julia probably stabbed him when the lights went out
Is that Julia Gillard on the left?
Yes (and it's yuckky)
@Juggalo9007 that's the current leader of our country...
You mean Deputy PM Dillard pulling a face?
@CanberraUserYes, it does sicken me that there have been no female prime ministers before Gillard. The reason for this is the oppression females have been fighting for centuries- yet especially from the early 20th century. We have been fighting against the ideal that positions of power can only be obtained and performed by men. We have been fighting against the ideal that women are intellectually incapable, unable to be in control of her own life and unable to perform a professional career.
Crikey, someen' forgot teh pay theer electric bill eh?
I'd love to see how they'd react if a bird flew in to the room.
More likely a pigeon would walk into the chamber and it would be cleaner than most of the other people sitting in that chamber.
Like how a bird flew onto Bernie Sanders’ speech podium!
lol. Theyre like little kids in school.The power goes off and its an invitation to muck up.
odour odour in the house
@CanberraUser Ok and one more thing we have a female governor of NSW and a Female Monarch now what else will we have a female president of the USA?
I see Prime Minister Rudd and two future Prime Ministers sitting behind him.
the lights went out in australian parliament as soon as this joker was voted in
No the lights went out because of bad weather!!
@CanberraUser its not about sex... all you have to see if their track record, fair enough keneally inherited a bad government, but all you have to do is travel to north QLD, even central and no-one will listen
Power bills are getting so high even parliament house cant afford to pay the bills with OUR money
Power bills have nothing to do with it!!
Power was out because of Severe Weather over the House of Representatives!!
That's all!!
Guaranteed that would’ve been the best ever day to be in parliament
It's like a bloody school hall when the CD player skips during a performance and sounds like a swear word.
This is the greens giving Australia a glimpse of the future when they get power.
***** Merry Xmas
tracy roberts What when they use 100% clean and free energy to power the country??
Get out of here, RWNJ.
And they'd charge us $10k a year for the privileged.
It's NOT there fault!!
They had a bad thunderstorm that hit a power substation down there!!
Gillard looks so old in this video
I doubt that!!
How old is she now?
lol Julia's face when the lights go out "Nows my chance. BACK STABBY TIME!"
Lol at 00:09
Just like high school. We never really change do we?
Even the lights went to sleep from Kevins speech.
It did that because there was some Severe Weather out there!!
Prime Minister had nothing to do with it!!
LOL! check out the crappy lighting!
Ok who hasn't paid their taxes! How must our politicians work in such degrading conditions?!
compare this to my primary school, where the lights would frequently go out, not much difference.
exactly. bunch of immature kids
Kangaroo must have punched the Power Board xD
I doubt it just had a bad thunderstorm!!
>shazzatpm It's LIGHTS OUT FOR LABOR I'm not voting for these cretins ever again. Female Prime Minister I mean COME ON, WHAT A JOKE THIS COUNTRY AND OUR SOCIETY HAS BECOME
@CanberraUser There’s my position. Given what I’ve heard of yours, I don’t care to hear or respond to more. Troll to your heart’s content. Now, I have a thesis to attend to.
So don't pay your taxes if you're that against it? Pretty soon you'll get to see what else YOUR MONEY pays for.
Hey taxes has nothing to do with it!!
It was due to Severe Weather!!
Looks like the lights have gone out on Kevin Rudd now.
I wonder where you guys get your rowdy poltics from?
Lol Mr. Speaker has to play the role of Dad in parliament house every day
@murrangurk here here!
ah yes, the dark side of the labour party has been shown.
@CanberraUser i know ey
@CanberraUser Wel lthe office of PM does need some respect added to it regardless of whos PM and in a sense money buys respect
AWWWWW BY CRIKEY THE LIGHTS GONE OUT, BEST SHOUT LOADS MATE TILL EVERYTHING IS SUPERCRACKER.
where is Gary Gray when you need him.
Hahaha the poor speaker has the toughest job in the house
@CanberraUserThe fact you’re against a PM simply because she is female insults me. The reason I’m against your position is your agreement with the pre 20th century ideals surrounding females and because of that, females are still fighting. Whether she’s labor or liberal, the fact we have a female prime minister should be seen as an achievement for women, given only less than 100 years ago, women couldn’t even vote. If Gillard is democratically elected, this statement will be even stronger.
Does Kevin spit at 0:09??????????
we pay a lot of money to sustain the lifestyle of these "kids"
marty177 I noticed that too, when he says "slice"
@CanberraUser EXACTLY! vote green XD
aussie politics what a joke
It was the Carbon Tax in action.
Carbon tax wasn't even around then, try again :)
@@LachiBoii agreed!!
Just had a bad thunderstorm!!
sraphael, are you basing your judgment solely on the mere fact I am against a female Prime Minister?? It's not me you should be arguing against. What you really should be arguing against is the evidential tale of history: that we have never had a female Prime Minister between 1901 and 2009. The question you have to ask yourself is, why this is so? I'm only telling it like it is, why does this FACT make you sick??
That's what I was thinking LOL.
As lord of the house, Wonna get new lights in eyahh' :P
Mischelle999, we do not need "action on climate change" or any of the other crazy things the Green movement keep begging for. The only thing Tony Abbott is saying "No" to is left-wing lunacy.
Clone3037 Yeah, what more do they want?? Where will it end??
When Jenkins (speaker) has a gun to shoot up in the air!!
That'll shut the crowd up every time!!
lol USE THAT FLUORESCENT VEST XD
He said “You need that flourescent vest!”
I watch Question Time every now and again to get my fair share of laughter :) Overpaid clowns, heh
1dschamp What??
CRAP
@CanberraUser hehe :P lucky for me i'm underage so i don't have to vote XD
have fun on the 21st of august :P
>unitednerdsbeproud What?? Greens are worse than Labor!!!
sraphael, why? Because I don't vote Green??
LMAO I LOVE THE IRONY!!!!!!!
HAHAHA
RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE
Hehehehe hope you like the little sleep over parliament
Spoilt rotten, she gets a ride with the President, and on OUR MONEY!!!!
Champion32panel, what a load of bullshit. Regarding Srapael's comments, it wasn't until the 10th year of the 21st Century, not "early 20th century" as you claim, that we have had to deal with
(a) a female Premier of Queensland (2007)
(b) a female Governor-General for God sake!! (2008)
(c) a female Premier of NSW (2008)
and now a female Prime Minister
TO HELL with the "glass ceiling" whingers. WHAT GLASS CEILING??? I should smash their heads into it!!!
Hate that Green.
