In my opinion, QP in its current format is the dumbest part of our parliamentary system.
Every question asked, by all parties, is usually so biased and asked in a way as to portray the offending party in the worst possible light (whether valid or not... or even close to the truth), and the perfect answer to be given to all questions (unless they are questions posed by their own party member) is to totally avoid answering the question and talk about any and everything but the questions... just stupid.
And the way they carry on shouting at each other.... children usually behave better.
