Peter slipper MP denies vehemently that he was asleep during the joint sitting of Parliament for the address of Indonesian President Susilo Bangbang Yudhoyono.

It appears that on both occassions the story was the same - both must have been caught at times when they had inadvertently shut their eyes, as they were not asleep. You can read Peter Slipper's denial here and also Sharman Stone covering for her colleague here.
What amazes me is how the photo of Peter Slipper got into the public arena. Either an usher is extremely brave or one of Slipper's fellow MP's has snapped him and farmed it straight to his home town paper. Either way it took guts!
You be the judge - Asleep on the job or not?
Asleep definitely!
