The Micallef P(r)ogram(me) 

Great impression of every Aussie politician ever.

I'm a bit late to this sketch but it's very reminiscent of Peter Costello over anyone else. It's the smugness that even exceeds Morrison.

The minister is a suppository of wisdom.

it's amazingly timeless

"Mr. Speaker, i'm not about to stab the Prime Minister in the back, by doing that, hack away at his skull with an axe, Mr. Speaker, and eat him, and I don't think anybody hear is seriously asking me to do that" LMAO! Micallef is a Genius / Legend of comedy!

Scott Morrison watched this every single morning before question time 😂😂

Spot on impersonation of fake tough guy, Peter Costello

Mr Speaker, the Member for Brand is looking at me.

Remarkably prescient of Tony Abbott's contributions as prime minister

Great impression of Peter Costello

Shaun Micallef is a comedic genius.

So little said in so many words sums Question Time up perfectly

Still 100% accurate in 2020, nothing has changed.

I defy anyone to point out the key differences between this and a real Question Time speech.

Almost exactly Peter Costello and his smugness

"Mr. Speaker, the honourable member for Brandt is looking at me" LOL

when he says "sick and fed up to the gills" that bit, the head kicks he does are remarkably exceptional

💯 accurate. Honourable mention to Wayne Hope in the background

I saw exactly this happening today at Question Time!!

Just love his work! 👏👏👏

Fits ScoMo like a glove

This would have to be the most accurate representation of Australian politics of all fucking time! 😂

timeless. i imagine this to be so old, yet somehow parliament does not seem to have changed one bit.

This makes me smile so intensely. Micallef is genius.

More talent on that front bench than the last 6 governments we've had

I'm American, I thought this was real at first haha

In the real Question time they say "Mr. Speaker" at least 3 times as much.

Sounds exactly like Clive Palmer without the constant shortness of breath.

"We can PROMISE.......we can PROMISE that the Australian people one thing that Labor could never provide in its thirteen years of office, its thirteen YEARS of - hard labour" LOLOLOL

micallef is a legend. highly underrated

"Mr. Beazley's own personal White Giant". That is absolute gold :'D

and.. rainfall, to its highest recorded level since the depression. classic

AHAHAHA Mr. Speaker the Honorable member for Brand is looking at me.

Comedy king!

spot on.

Thirteen YEARS thirteen YEARS of ah...hard Labor...

even less or more timeless than it was before. Incredible

mr speaker, mr speaker.

Sounds like me winging it in my law class 😂

NEVER DELETE THIS VIDEO. :D

The difference between this and the real thing is the real thing is sillier.

When pollies die..they bury them in a 20 foot deep hole......It seems that, deep down, they are really nice people

OMG SEAN! I need more of this! Tears.

Nailed it

Almost impossible to tell the difference between this skit and actual goings on in Parliament.

This is gold, Shaun McAuliffe is SOOOO UNDERSTATED as a comedian...His material is GOLDEN

This guy always makes me laugh!!! Thanks for uploading :-)

A true Aussie legend!

@chauncer123 Not at all. "In answer to the honourable member's second question. No" Who has ever heard such a direct answer? However, how much of this was heard by Gillard pre and post knifing?

2023: Still perfectly accurate.

This is so well done! This is exactly how Question Time plays out...

It's like a highly-tuned racing car.

Sounds like Francis Greenslade.

hahahaha fuck it must have been hard for the people behind him to keep a straight face

That's a quality front bench!

peter costello, amirite?!?!

Gosh... How many Hot Air Balloons were inflated above the House that day??? lol! Quite a few I'd say! This is brilliant! Thanks for posting! Too close to the truth!

micallef for parliment! Thumbs Up!

Absolute gold.

ohh thank gosh mad as hell is back on the air at the end of june ❤

Brilliant!

I don't think the brilliance of this is explainable

Wayne Hope on the front bench better than Wayne Swan I guess

Yep, that about sums it up.

wait, why did you just upload raw footage, I wanted shaun micallef not tony abbott

The Minister For Brandis will be stupid!

this guy is bloody classic

"troot out willy nilly".. ahaha "i will not hack away at his skull and leave him to die", subtitle.. very nice

Oh I thought this was the actual Australian Parliament lol

Orda. Oooorda!

still such a great bit

Legend!

Don Angel / kerry akermanis in the background!! lol

Best 😍

Is that Cal Wilson in the blue?

LMAO this is so funny

lol awesome

Not sure if that's actually the real Speaker's who retired recently or Micallef's collegue in comedy's...

Micallef for PM!

at least 100,000 of these views are mine. I find it hilarious but it also makes me feel better that I'm not the only one that realises how fucking ridiculous parliament is

Classic Abbott

Sounds like Costello! Ha! Ha!

@Ken0009100 Cool, I didn't know that. He would have been pretty young back in '77.

13 YEARS!

Nothing's changed, really.

@chauncer123 Not at all. "In answer to the honourable member's second question. No" However, how much of this was heard by Gillard pre and post knifing?

Hear Hear!

"blackhole" "Quaser" "White giant"

14 years later...

LOL 'good unstupid decisions'

This is *almost* funnier than Hanson's 'maiden speech'

@Stephen19852009 It's a comed sketch...Micallef is the man.

I'd vote for Shaun

Shocked the username on this wasn't 'Hansard'.

13 years!

How appropriate is it to watch this during the current Labor circus going on, Gillard v Rudd haha.

Keating spectacular failure? LOL. I suggest you read something other than "The Australian:

Looks a bit like her.

@chauncer123 I literally thought this wasn't a skit.

its as if I'm watching the real parliament! LOL our politicians are a bunch of egotistical wankers just fighting be in power, great parody!
