Tanya Plibersek is being made to introduce this bill as the press gallery is being locked up for the budget.

So they have all just been made to hand over their phones. There is a skeleton crew still watching parliament (hi guys!) but most of the gallery is locked up and they will be locked up while the ‘debate’ for this happens in the house.

And then tomorrow, it will be wall to wall budget response as they laws are pushed through the senate (maybe – there seems to be some mischief afoot).
