Support this image is already an FP on enwiki (for reference) and this area was taken in a no public access area (while the House of Reps is open to the public, you can only view it from the balcony), so good photos like this are rare. --SHB2000 (talk) 10:09, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This is a perfect FP for Wikipedia because it's an excellent, even if not evenly lit photo of an important legislative body. However, for Commons, I think it's just an excellent QI/VI, because as a view, it's rather boring. It's possible that I might think differently if I were an Australian and were thinking about the place from which the photo was taken, as you do, but it's impossible to know, and anyway, I am what I am and see and react the way I do. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:44, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I just think any photo that was taken in a restricted area has an interesting wow factor given how rare it is to find such photos. --SHB2000 (talk) 23:01, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think File:Australian Senate - Parliament of Australia.jpg is a more interesting photo to look at. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:29, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Will nominate that once it's been promoted to QI (which should be any moment now). --SHB2000 (talk) 02:43, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It may not have been the easiest photo to get as a free image, yes, but I still find the background too distracting. If that same angle used in the Senate chamber photo had been used, it might be different. Daniel Case (talk) 18:11, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support More a support to make my point: this photo looks clearly very well thought of, is clean and the place is usually prohibited from access. Yet it gets opposed on the ground of petty reasons. On the same FPC page, I see noms of more easily accessible subjects, with very simple compo, that anyone can shoot, getting loads of supports. And then we wonder why none of us gets to POTY final round. - Benh (talk) 13:54, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Indeed an excellent photo. --Aristeas (talk) 09:19, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Plus for the educational value, and for the difficulty of access. --Yann (talk) 16:11, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
