About this listen
How do you get parliament to do what you want it to? Before a law is a law, it's a bill; and before a bill is passed, it goes through a select committee. Comedian Chris Parker tries to sneak a few past Robbie Nicol, while Robbie lies to Chris about the governors-general.

Dig out your old quill and piece of parchment, then write to your MP and tell them what you think; otherwise, tune in to Robbie, who will tell you more ways to get parliament to listen.
