Architectural Fiction # 7: Modern day parliament- the virtual wall

This fiction was contributed to by 7 students

Climate refugees are fleeing to Australia at a rate of 20,000 people per week...
Parliament is in a crazed state, as polititions debate over the futue of these refugees.  The newly designed debate room is the central location for this debae and consists of...
A giant digital wall dividing the room into two halves.  The politicians are able to use the wall to control lighting, temperature etc in both halves of teh room, but only if they have a majority on their side...
This physical wall also displays a leaderbaord and scores, adding to teh excitement of modern parliament.  If a brawl begins, the wall acts as a dividing forcefield.  Bonus points are scored for referring to professionals in the field.  One party calls upon a student group (35 points) for a solution to this humanitarian disaster...
The wall then allows the student to be seen virtually as teh students are based around Australia and it is impractical for the sutdents to travel to the debate room...
However the student body feel this is an unfair way to be represented and threaten rioting if they aren't represented in a fairer way...
However, talks continue and a solution is reached that the flexibility of the display screen is the most appropriate solution to close teh distance and allow the important refugee talks to continue.  Through the cirtual system all parties involved in teh talks are able to view and share the same information.
