Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says random alcohol and drug testing in parliament is not something he supports.
“There have been of course issues from time to time in the parliament,” he said.
“I don’t want to see us be in a position where we say we are unable to act like adults.
“It’s not something that I have supported, I think that people need to act responsibly at all times, to bear in mind the great privilege and hour that we have of being in this chamber in the various positions that occur.
“Whether they be on the frontbench of other side, whether it be backbench members or whether it be crossbench members as well.”

Then all adults in the work place should be respected and no need for testing.
Bla Bla Bla…..word salad…. how good am I?……NO…… Why…. #Albo & #Burney ❤ it 🍻🍺🥂🍹🍺🍸🍷🍾
Dreamer
If they were accountable most would be in jail
Since when has kindergarten taken on adult pupil's
Why is it that mandatory drug testing is acceptable for garbage collection workers and other government departments but not for federal parliament? What about unelected public service and political staffers. Absolute hypocrisy and double standard. Albanese is a joke
Parliament, how pathetic… a place where liars lie to liars
I have been to a Question Time a boy you may want to bring in a flask for that nonsense! 😮 🥃
It must have been HUMILIATING for Barnaby Joyce for the Nationals to Vote for Labor's tax cuts..
*Just like it was HUMILIATING for One Nation Pauline Hanson to also vote for Labor's tax cuts** 😂😂😂😂
Look if you guys don’t like them legislating drunk and abusing substances, then you are free to vote them out in 3 years
That will get rid of the useless Speaker
What a joke in other words one rule for normal people and another for politicians its not a big thing not hard to get done so if you have a so called important job nearly all are drug tested but the people running the country are responsible enough adults to not be tested yet they run the country make laws etc etc typical no transparency no accountability what a load of crap he spun to say no we're above that we are trusted no one else is his new name should be TALBO ( as dodgy as a tennis elbow) he is
00 for alcohol and drugs for any one entering parliament house. period. no ifs or buts, tested before any one gets through the door.
Do they not get tested 😡 . We the people have the right to ask for them
Yet u act like kids in their🖕
It should be mandatory. Linda should be breath tested at least three times a day and any politician who is drunk or on cocaine should be immediately suspended or sacked depending on how drunk or high the entitled addicts are.
Rules for thee, not for me
He did not show respect to the community by lying so this is just more waffle.
All work places and police have the power over Australians 😂
Didn't answer the question as he is drunk all they do is give speeches of lies and change the subject instead of answer questions. They should rename it from Question time to BS time.
The fact is you are not all respectable members !!
ALBO just gave $A 33 6:03 million to Ukraine. A$20 million to Palastine.$40million to Cambodia And the list goes on
I get tested for drugs regularly at work, for the privilege of taxes being taken from my pay and given to those on the dole who can do as they wish with my money.
Yes!! test the circus 🤡
Yes test the Dole takers.
A great idea. Even better make them take a lie detector test during an election.
High time they started wearing body cams too, everyone else is working under constant surveillance now
My Opinion – Drug and Alcohol testing in the parliamentary workplace – what a good idea! I worked in the mining industry for the last thirty years and for the last 4 – I had to blow in the alcoholizer every day I entered the workplace. When mandatory Drug and Alcohol was first introduced for the mining industry – the LNP were singing from the roof tops alluding that the scruffy unionised workforce would get their comeuppance and yes, some workers have been disciplined and dismissed for breach of these rules which is ZERO. Where any mining executives caught – yes – not at work but by the police on the open road – and over the limit. The higher they go the more entitled they think they are allowed to ignore the rules of the common employee!
