In case you were wondering why you haven’t heard Pauline Hanson crowing over the Liberals net zero position, it’s because she is in the US, staying at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida (and has been all week – don’t worry, she’s not sitting alone at the breakfast buffet – Gina has been seen there too) ahead of her speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) where she is bragging about being just a stone’s throw away from beating the Coalition’s vote.

She won’t have to look too far for speaking notes – these are all the same things that she was saying in 1998. And the 2000s. And then when she got back in in 2019. And well, evidence would suggest that there’s a lot of talk, but not a lot of walk when it comes to those not-so-humble-brags.

Meanwhile, Barnaby Joyce still won’t say which way he is going to go in terms of his future – because of course he won’t. The man has built a career out of being a chaos monkey from the moment he was elected to the Queensland senate from fourth place (thanks to One Nation preferences) in the early 2000s and it has paid massive dividends for him – why would he change now? Why does anyone take him seriously is the bigger question.
