There was uproar in the Queensland Parliament yesterday as the last few days of tumult descended even further. The last days have seen 4 dissent motions against the Speaker, who is accused of bias, a no-confidence motion in the Attorney-General, and a censure motion against an opposition MP, Rob Messenger.[pP]>bajar P2k Driver 2.1
