Christopher Pyne and Anthony Albanese are baiting each other. | |
The first government question is on long term economic prosperity. | |
Far from having the hard catastrophic economic landing that so many economists predicted, our economy is transitioning well. But it’s not happening by accident. It needs clear leadership and that is what we’ve provided. Now, the options available to the Parliament today are as clear as they are stark. We have to make this 45th Parliament work for all of us. | |

Murpharoo reports: The prime minister just sauntered in to the chamber with Darren Chester. Sitting down in his chair, he looked over the dispatch box to TPlibs. He must have smiled a welcome. She grinned back. Sitting behind TPlibs, Mark Butler and Kate Ellis both tapped their knees and shot her a thumbs up. | |
The first question from Plibersek to Turnbull: The Haymarket clinic in Darlinghurst has provided free medical nursing and welfare services to homeless and vulnerable people for more than 40 years. But has been forced to close its doors because of the PM’s cuts. Why is it that the PM can find over $170m to spend on an unnecessary and damaging and divisive plebiscite but he didn’t find $900,000 to keep the Haymarket clinic open? | |
Turnbull says the government is providing funding to health but doesn’t really go to the specifics. | |

Derryn Hinch spoke about the archaic Senate rules earlier today. The Senate will not allow photos of anyone other than those with the call – which are different to the rules in the lower house. Hinch is trying to get something done but because we could not make the press conference, I will have to catch up. More after question time. | |

Nationals MP Andrew Gee is giving his first speech. I missed the first bit – due to seeking sustenance – but I did hear that he supports fixed four-year terms. Hear hear. | |

This was during the Bandt-Wilkie incursion on the budget bill. The PM was waiting for the budget bill to pass but the argy bargy meant it went on longer than expected. Eventually he left and came back later. Slowly, government MPs entered the chamber as he began speaking on the marriage bill. | This was during the Bandt-Wilkie incursion on the budget bill.
