Sky News has announced that they are releasing a new coverage of the Australian parliamentary sessions. Using the new digital technology it will allow the choice of 50 cameras recording the action in both chambers.

The next proposed step in this technology is for your average Australian citizen to hone in on their parliamentary representative to see what they are up to. Based on the television coverage of yesterdays sitting of parliament where only about 15 MPs could be observed in the chamber some of our parliamentarians will have a lot of explaining to do.
