I have seen a lot clips of Senator Rennick in action, and usually to a vacant chamber.

Question - does he only get time when no one else is around, or does the chamber get up and walk out on him?

I think the latter. Same happened in the UK.

The same thing happened to Craig Kelly (before he was ousted as an MP in the last election). Over and over he would stand up and make an extremely well-informed speech about HCQ, or ivermectin, and so on - and barely anyone else was in the chamber.

Then they laugh & jeer at him, calling him "a furniture salesman" (he was a small businessman before he entered politics - not a career politician as most of them are).

And I see the same happening in the UK, where there are a handful of MPs asking questions about excess mortality or whatever. The others just walk out. They do their best to ridicule and discourage the ones who are prepared to stand up and speak out against the narrative - but fortunately we do have these few politicians who truly do seem to do their best to do the job they were elected to do.

None of them perfect - but not bought and paid for like most of them!

Yes, the utter arrogance of the bureaucrats is unbelievable.

Is Rennick still serving? I was so impressed with his interview with John Campbell - and - he's in my neighbourhood. But I don't think he is still serving in a political capacity....

Until the end of this term. His party took his seat away and gave it to someone else. Maybe he runs again as independent. He is amazing but lone soldier unfortunately.
