That isn't how it's set up to work at all.

In theory the PM shouldn't know the questions coming up.
Although all his governmental departments will fully brief him on all subjects that may possibly come up with questions.

Many times it's been said, that opposition leaders have surprised PMs, by what they asked and raised, plus also didn't as expected raise.

If it's rehearsed beforehand then my goodness, it's an even worse shambles on the day.

Plus the speaker is there to ensure proper parliamentary procedures are followed.

So since rehearsal is not permitted, plus questions should not be known in advance.
Then the speaker is failing miserably too.
Failing parliament and the people too.

No matter what however, it's a disgraceful display from any leader of a Country.
Which I repeat is now insulting and increasingly embarrassing to even watch with this PM at all.
In my view.
