NSW resident and non member of the Queensland parliament, Dee Madigan, has been referred to the state’s ethics committee for ridiculing Jarrod Bleijie MP.<\/h6>\n

Author and Gruen<\/a> panelist, Dee Madigan<\/a>, has been referred to Queensland’s parliamentary ethics committee for ridiculing in a Tweet the Liberal National Party (LNP) member for the state seat of Kawana, Jarrod Bleijie<\/a>.\u00a0Last month, this blogger made a Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) of a scene in the Queensland Parliament in which Mr Bleijie tore up papers and threw them on the floor during debate on changes to the state’s vegetative management act.<\/p>\n

Mr Bleijie had been unhappy that the hours of parliament had been extended to close out the bill\u00a0and pointed to the government’s recent introduction of ‘family friendly hours’. Egged on by the deputy leader of the opposition, Tim Mander<\/a>, Mr Bleijie digressed into accusations of socialism against the Labor Party before tearing up papers and casting them down. The action drew condemnation from Speaker\u00a0Curtis Pitt<\/a>.<\/p>\n
