In a minority government you're always going to see what you are seeing now.

The government in power is angling for a majority, the opposition government showing that they're an effective opposition and fighting everything good bad and ugly.

If you want civility in government give the prime minister a gun and the abiltiy to arrest dissentors.
Oh this was very, very good.
