Anthony Albanese says he was taught mercy by the Christian Brothers and he will end QT “for all our sakes”.

So what did we learn.

Sussan Ley is on the outer. Not only did she not open QT, or even feature in it heavily, she was pretty much ignored by her front bench and her interactions with them were limited.

When it becomes that obvious, the situation is dire. The Liberals are unlikely to move until there is someone else there to clean up the mess, but you can start the clock.

We also learnt that Ted O’Brien either doesn’t read his briefs, or gets bad advice – because whether you like him or not, Jim Chalmers is ALWAYS prepared for QT and knows his portfolio inside out. You are not going to be able to back him into making a mistake.

Everything else? Independents asking about communities, Labor still tone deaf on housing costs, Coalition MIA.

The end of this parliament year can not come soon enough for 29% of the house.
