Ted O’Brien, the answer no on ever asked for, then tries to pretend he understands economics.

But Anthony Albanese is in too good a mood today. He got his political win, his opponents are still a ravel and one less in the numbers (without him having to do anything but put Barnaby Joyce’s private members bill scraping net zero up for debate) and it’s the last day of the sittings, which means he actually may get a weekend.

So when O’Brien asks about inflation, Albanese just plays with him for a bit, saying the man who helped bring the Coalition down to 42 seats with his nuclear policy, now has the economic policy.

And that gives him a lot of cheer.
