QUESTION Time in State Parliament will today be streamed live on Facebook for the first time, as MPs seek to reach a bigger audience.

Speaker Vincent Tarzia said the broadcast, through a new House of Assembly Facebook page would increase “openness and accountability”.

Manager of Opposition Business Tom Koutsantonis said people could watch live as “all the Liberal MPs cross the floor”, providing “hours of fun for the whole family”.
