Parliament’s Muppet stuntman, Queensland's Milton Dick, is now in charge of the whole show
Milton Dick, the man who was once booted out of parliament for bringing in Muppets is now in charge of the whole show.
Dick and his then-desk buddy Luke Gosling were thrown out of the chamber in 2018 for bringing a set of Muppet dolls into question time, which they waved around in front of cameras. Former Speaker Tony Smith was not amused and ejected the pair for their antics. “It was entirely my idea that you do that. You were chosen on the basis that, at that point, you were the only member of the caucus who had not yet been thrown out. So, while it was disorder, it was disorder on the basis that you, to that point, for an opposition member, had been too respectful of the system.”
“Speakers are supposed to be dragged to the chair due to fear. It’s a tradition I understand – I’m feeling quite a bit of fear right now,” Dick said.He said the people of Australia had sent a clear message at the election on how they expected politics to be conducted.
