I mean it happened earlier this year in Tasmania, and it was absolutely for grandstanding purposes, given they'd had an election less than a year before.

I only considered the Federal level, it's nice to get some input about state level shenanigans.

(And despite the grandstanding, they still agreed to pass supply bills to allow the public service to operate!)

Really - I totally missed that! Will have a read about it, but could you elaborate on the ‘grandstanding’ aspect?

EDIT: wow, what a mess!
