So what did we learn?

Again, nothing. For the second day in a row the Coalition made Chris Bowen the target, which is a short sighted strategy because the man knows parliamentary procedure and his particular brand of incensed works well for QT.

There is also no policy the Coalition can point to in terms of compare and contrast – it’s fishing and coming up with old boots.

The crossbench are trying to get something on gambling reforms – Albanese ruled out a conscience vote – not surprising, that is Labor party policy (all for one and all that) but it does show the ridiculousness of the situation – the Labor backbench are very uncomfortable with the lack of action on gambling reforms, but the leadership won’t budge.
