So with 28 Liberals in the house, there is going to be quite a bit of double up in shadow ministries. Maybe Scott Morrison was just ahead of his time.
And the Nats will now only have electoral staff. They will have ‘spokespeople’ like the Greens, but they won’t have the opposition staffing allocation.
So good times all round!

Silly question Amy - I have a vague recollection of reading somewhere that if their numbers fell below a certain threshold in the Senate (which would happen with Perin Davey losing her spot), the Nationals would lose out on some staffing or similar there as well - could have been party status, if I remember rightly?
