@GossiTheDog why is it that I wouldn't be surprised if Republican politicians in the U.S. were to start doing that? Oh right, because they are even stupider than the politicians in Australia xD
2xfoI seem to recall a rule that only water or milk can be drunk on the Senate floor, but i might be mixing something up
@RnDanger @GossiTheDog since when have the republicans ever shown that they care about the rules?
@Natsura @GossiTheDog
Ok so i looked this up before making more uninformed statements:
Apparently a guy was filibustering in the sixties and asked the chair if he could drink milk. The chair replied "there's nothing in the rules to deny that" and everyone just assumed the contrapositive.
Apparently most senators still think this is a rule.

purple despairs@RnDanger @Natsura @GossiTheDog so the rule is actually that there are no rules on what you can drink?
Jason Reed@GossiTheDog Australian politics are very strange.
Paul Bailey@GossiTheDog Well, that’s broken my Aussieometer.

The Western Australian Parliament seems more civilised than the Canberra one, renowned for brawls.
A Shoey - cool, albeit absolutely disgusting unless the beer had a very high alcohol content.
WHY TF can't other parliamentary systems take a leaf out of their books?

Leonardo Ferreira Fontenelle@GossiTheDog I wonder if he will receive an unprecedented punishment like the Maori MP in NZ
benny@lffontenelle @GossiTheDog she got a punishment? I missed that part of the story.
Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈@GossiTheDog "Disparaging the Boot is a bootable offence!"
canleaf08 ⌘ ✅@GossiTheDog And my first thought was "which US rep will respond with 'hold my shoe'"?

Alex@GossiTheDog once again, Australia isn't real.
skry@GossiTheDog In Texas, this tradition is enshrined in boot-shaped glass beer flagons.
webhat@skry @GossiTheDog we have glass boots in the Netherlands too, you're meant to drain the whole glass in one go without spilling, or you pay for the next round
Nini@GossiTheDog Drinking beer from a shoe, not too weird for an Aussie but in parliament? That's different but Aussies are built different that way.

for a day, while . . .One night, after a long day of drinking, my friends and I were drinking the cheapest champagne from our shoes. But it was ok, because we were very drunk . . .

@GossiTheDog Democracy manifest!
@GossiTheDog All meetings are concluded like that in Australia. "Alright, I've had enough of this rubbish, I'm gonna shoe off!", other acceptable responses when leaving a meeting are, "Laters, shoe you tomorrow!", "Shoes your own adventure", "Well this was a shoe-gone conclusion" and "Joggers up!"

Paul Woodford@GossiTheDog A Hash House Harrier, no doubt.
Jason Stiff@GossiTheDog Just another day that ends in "y" in Australia... or ends in "oy". 😄

There must be a better way to sneak beer into Parliament 🤷

Chris@GossiTheDog huh, I thought the proper parliamentary procedure was that a shoey is only to be drunk when your bill is defeated by a two-thirds margin
