The Senate mess is continuing which means we are going to call it a day because honestly, there needs to be a limit.

It has created some very funny scenes in the senate though, including Jane Hume showing off a paper necklace she made from Minties’ wrappers:

We will be back early next week for the second week of insanity – we hope you will join us?

Thank you so much for joining us in this first week of The Point! It has meant the world to see so many of you jump on board – that the numbers grew as the week went on was also really, really heartening. It’s a small team and obviously there are some bugs, but we appreciate all of you for coming with us as we work it out.

I’ll be back on Monday, until then – get into some good trouble and take care of you Ax
