"Mr Speaker, are you aware that standing order 2 effectively cancels out the provisions on alcohol in order 5? No member my accuse another of being drunk yet being drunk is banned. So in effect being drunk is fine as it is against the rules for anybody to accuse them of being drunk whereby they might then be tested and removed." Said Boris as he took a swig from a hip flask.

Dmitri looks over and sees Njil smoking. He nods towards the officers. The officers go to Njil and remove the ceiling light. They then call for an ambulance and take her away.

"A-ha-ha! Tarnish notte the majesty of my LIQUIDATED YEAST!"

Taking advantage of the temporary loophole, Javier whipped out a dark black container, opening a foul smell into the room. He tipped his head back and started to pour the contents down his throat. Slowly, the thick liquid began to flow from the jar. Slowly. Very slowly. In fact, maybe even Parliament could get something done before the full jar was emptied. It wasn't alcohol, that was for sure.

That's right. He had vegemite. He took out a spoon, dug into the jar and shoved a disgusting load of yeast extract down his throat. He opened his mouth to speak, though all that could be seen were glimpses of teeth, hidden under the tarry black shit the Australians love.

"Want any?" he said to the chamber in general.

Javier yawned, and took another vegebite.

Winston obtains the appropriate mechanisms to open the keg and fills himself a mug of Guinness, which he promptly chugs before filling another.
