Julia Banks Defects and Publication of the Calendar of Sessions: Australian Policy On-Line

Shorten recalled yesterday's remarks by Julie Bishop, calling on the government to work with the Labor Party on the national energy guarantee.

"Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition has described this policy as Frankenstein's policy. So what will that show? You can never believe what this guy is saying, Mr. President. He is for everything and he is against everything, "says Morrison.

The turmoil that followed ended when Labor MP Rob Mitchell was kicked out of the room.

My God, Parliament is turbulent today. Everyone has a lot of fun, led by Mr. Frydenberg.

He has a light head in the budget deficit record of former treasurer Wayne Swan, citing Kevin Rudd's book.

"The deputy of Lilley lacked brain power, Mr. Speaker, and basic intellectual software capable of being trained, Mr. Speaker. That's what Kevin Rudd, the former Labor Prime Minister, thought of the member for Lilley, "he said.

Government benches like that.

Labor MP Anne Aly makes fun of Mr. Frydenberg's film skills.

"I am referring to reports that the treasurer canceled his planned trip to meet his international counterparts at the G20 due to the chaos and division of the government. Now, given the recent success of the Treasurer as Director of Photography, has the Treasurer considered sending a video message to the G20? She asks.

It's a cheeky reference to this rather zany clip that Mr. Frydenberg posted on Twitter recently.

If you own your property – as part of the work plan, it will be worth less.

If you rent your own house – under the labor policy, you will pay more.

Chris Bowen asks why Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has canceled his trip to the G20 summit in Buenos Aires, replacing Mathias Cormann.

"Well, as the member for McMahon knows, this is a leadership meeting. Treasurers and finance ministers attended the recent meeting in Bali. We were at the recent meeting in Bali, "said Frydenberg.

This gives rise to much joy on the part of Labor. Ed Husic was kicked out of the room.

"Treasurer, just stop talking for a moment," said President Tony Smith, caught in a spirit of frustration before delivering his usual speech to the House, on the subject of closing the premises.

Next question. Shorten takes advantage of the publication of next year's parliamentary calendar, which could allow Parliament to sit as little as 10 days before the May elections.

"Can the Prime Minister confirm that, since the departure of Malcolm Turnbull, the government has canceled Parliament, unable to determine who is the Prime Minister, has lost two members of the government and its majority and that it will lead next year a part-time Parliament? he asks.

"Has the government given up pretending to govern? And why is not Malcolm Turnbull always Prime Minister? "

Mr. Morrison responds with his now well-known refrain that Mr. Shorten is "arrogant".

"The leader of the Labor Party is so arrogant that he thinks that all he has to do to become Prime Minister is to come here and ask the same question every day," he said. he.

The hour of questions begins. Bill Shorten accuses Scott Morrison of ending funding for Keeping Women Safe at Home.

"Australian women should not have to choose between staying at home or staying safe. So, will the Prime Minister echo the announcement made by the Labor Party yesterday and commit $ 18 million to continue supporting this vital program? ", He asks.

Mr. Morrison responded that the government is continuing the process of extending funding. He says the program is still funded until June.

"I must say that I am a little disappointed that the Leader of the Opposition is seeking to capitalize this issue in the first place."

The happy ritual of Question Time, during which the illustrious Australian leaders spend about an hour giving up metaphorical feces, will begin soon.

Businessman Dick Smith just spoke to Sky News about the prospect of his independent candidacy at Bronwyn Bishop's former headquarters, Mackeller.

"I do not think I will be elected, but I will get up and I will just communicate what we need to do," he said.

"It will be a quiet campaign."

Mr Smith is politically active and has frequently voiced support for a reduction in immigration.

Yesterday, he posted a video in which he personified Prime Minister Scott Morrison and spoke about the "real cost of renewable energy." Mr. Smith argued that the idea that renewable energy could be cheaper than coal was "a lie".

"This is not true, nothing will ever be as cheap as coal, so we have a real problem," he said.

Still posing as Mr. Morrison, he proposed a plebiscite on the issue, to which only voters aged 30 and under participated.

Look here. It's wild.

The Greens have announced their intention to present a motion tomorrow to the Senate calling for a new code of conduct.

Their proposed code would require senators to "respect gender equality and diversity" and "reject discriminatory or exclusionary declarations", among others.

From the shadow of Malcolm Turnbull's children today.

More recently, Julie Bishop donated to the Museum of Australian Democracy her famous red satin heel that she wore while announcing her resignation from the post of Foreign Minister.

The iconic shoes will now be on display in King's Hall.

I just spoke to Cory Bernardi, who spoke directly to the Greens – especially Sarah Hanson-Young, who named her to the quartet of senators she accuses of having abused her personally. .

"Sarah Hanson-Young is a fantasy," said Bernardi.

"She can not forget that her incompetence and disgusting worldview have nothing to do with her bad.

"All the criticisms I make are about her decisions, her reasons, her hypocrisy and the total lack of credibility she shows in her role as a senator."

Bernardi said the Greens were "hypocrites of the highest level" and "completely dysfunctional".

"The Greens have a very long history of badism, misogyny, misandria, heterophobia and homophobia within their own political party," he said.

"It's time for the Australian public to realize how dangerous it is."

Yesterday's tragedy occurred because Richard Di Natale refused to withdraw his remarks after calling Barry O'Sullivan "larva" and "pig".

"The Greens think the rules should not apply to them," said Bernardi.

"There are very few people in this place who can say that they have not received sarcastic remarks about them.

"The hypocrites are the ones who complain about them."

The House pbaded a bill that will require migrants to wait longer before they can access the Newstart allowance.

Labor joined the government, making the vote a huge 97-5.

Fraser Anning has responded to these accusations of personal abuse by Green Leader Richard Di Natale.

"Since being sworn into the Senate, I have been labeled racist, fascist, rando, and other derogatory terms. Those who live in glbad houses should not throw stones, "Anning told news.com.au.

"I have never disparaged any man or woman in this place and although Sarah Hanson-Young has accused me of doing such things, I would suggest that she is mistaken.

"The Senate is supposed to be a place of civility, kindness and femininity, but we see it regularly breaking down into insults. Standards on all sides must be high. "

Mr. Anning was one of four senators appointed yesterday by Sarah Hanson-Young. Another of them, David Leyonhjelm, spoke to me earlier.

In state policy, Liberal leader Matthew Guy announced that he would step down following his electoral defeat.

Phantom Treasurer Michael O'Brien and Attorney General Shadow, John Pesutto, are considered favorites to replace him.

Chris Pyne has cracked down on criticism of next year's parliamentary calendar, including the suggestion that Parliament could only sit 10 days before the May election.

Complete lie of @ Tony_Burke and he knows it. There are 9 weeks scheduled for the first semester and we must organize elections: like every 3 years! #auspol https://t.co/351kXR6PVg

Julie Bishop faced the cameras in parliament. He was asked whether Peter Dutton should be returned to the High Court and gave an awkward and ambiguous answer.

"It is up to each member to take into account his situation and to make sure, as well as his electorate, that he is eligible to sit in parliament," Bishop said.

"This is not a no," the reporter said.

"That's my answer," she says.

Bishop had little to say about reports that the government threatened to send independent MP Kerryn Phelps to court if she voted against Mr. Dutton.

"I was not here when Christopher Pyne spoke or talked about Kerryn Phelps. I am not aware of the terms of what he said.

On another topic, Bishop said she had not been notified in advance of Julia Banks' defection to the bar.

"Julia informed me after making this statement in parliament," she said.

"It was obvious to all who follow the policy that she was not happy with the change of direction in August.

"I am disappointed that she felt the need to leave the Liberal Party and she had come to this point. However, knowing her as me, she has obviously reflected a lot and she must believe that it is so that she can best represent the interests of the Chisolm people. "

Ms. Bishop stated that it was clearly necessary to discuss the representation of women in the Liberal Party and in Parliament in general.

"When I speak of a country that does not realize its potential if it does not fully master the efforts, energies and skills of 50% of the population, this also applies to organizations, including the Liberal Party.

She also urged members of Parliament to respect each other, but declined to specifically respond to Barry O'Sullivan's comments in the Senate.

"I was not here in Canberra yesterday," she said.

"I will not make any insightful comment on what each senator says.

"We must all take personal responsibility for our behavior."

It has been confirmed that Mathias Cormann will go to the G20 Summit in Buenos Aires in the place of Treasurer Josh Frydenberg.

I just spoke to David Leyonhjelm, who is one of the members of the committee of senators that Mr. Di Natale has accused of using badual abuse in the House.

Mr. Leyonhjelm came out of Mr. Di Natale's speech this morning.

"Frankly, he said lies. He misinterpreted what Barry O'Sullivan said, "said Leyonhjelm.

The exact words of Mr. O'Sullivan were: "She did not show up. There's a bit of Nick Xenophon in it, and I do not mean it's a double reference, but there's a bit of Xenophon in it. "

Mr. Leyonhjelm stated that it was not meant to be a badual comment and that Mr. O'Sullivan was simply referring to Ms. Hanson-Young "starting to investigate and not following up".

"You can interpret that in a badual way, and that's what he (Di Natale) pretends to pretend to Barry O'Sullivan," said Leyonhjelm.

"In hindsight, he would probably have reformulated it, but he had not intended it to be badual."

Mr Leyonhjelm accused the Greens of being "profoundly hypocritical".

"I'm sitting next to the Greens. They insult me ​​daily. Di Natale in particular treats me several times a day, "he said.

"They are the worst aggressors in the Senate.

"When someone answers, when someone uses the same language as he uses, he says himself badist when he addresses a senator."

He rejected any idea that the language of his colleagues and himself would be badist.

"It's the same language, whether it's a man or a woman member of the Greens."

Mr. Leyonhjelm said "there are days" where the behavior in the Senate is "rather mediocre", but "most of the time, it's okay".

Fraser Anning's office said it was out of the room during Mr. Di Natale's speech because he was scheduled to attend a meeting.

The Senate has spent 15 minutes thinking about the explosion of personal violence in the House yesterday.

If you missed it, here's a quick reminder.

Yesterday afternoon, LNP Senator Barry O'Sullivan made a rude joke, reprimanding Green Senator Sarah Hanson-Young.

"She did not arrive. There is a bit of Nick Xenophon in it, and I do not mean that it is a double reference, but there is a bit of Xenophon in it, "he said.

Green leader Richard Di Natale responded by shouting through the room, calling Mr. O'Sullivan "larva" and "absolute pig".

"It's a shame," exclaimed Di Natale, furious.

Mr. O'Sullivan immediately withdrew his comment. Mr. Di Natale refused to withdraw his.

"We endured on this side days of badist dirt from this man," he said.

"He is a pig and he should ponder and reflect on the standards that he adopts in this chamber."

The chamber decided to suspend Mr. Di Natale from the Senate until the end of the day for refusing to withdraw his "non-parliamentary language".

Which brings us to today.

At the beginning of Senate business, President Scott Ryan urged senators to improve their behavior.

"Unparliamentary epithets and abuses have no place in this place," he said.

"Personal abuse has no place, especially if it targets race or gender.

"It's not just about rules. It is a question of mutual respect, vis-à-vis the institution, of those who elected us. "

He pointed to a proposal to limit each day the most lethal period of the Senate, namely general affairs, by declaring that the situation was "rapidly degenerating into a joke".

Mr. Di Natale rose to respond.

"The repeated shame and insinuations, not only on this side of the House, but also in the Senate, reinforce a culture of workplace harbadment and open harbadment of women in our society," he said.

"This institution, one of the most powerful in the country, allows men to shame, insult and openly and shamelessly harbad women parliamentarians.

"A small number of men in this badembly have repeated many times, who, either in a low voice or sometimes on the record, make the most humiliating and insulting comments against many of my colleagues."

Yesterday, Ms. Hanson-Young named Mr. O'Sullivan, David Leyonhjelm, Cory Bernardi and Fraser Anning as repeat offenders.

In the middle of the speech of Mr. Di Natale, MM. O'Sullivan, Anning and Leyonhjelm got up and went out of the room together.

"Regarding the treatment of women in this chamber, some people in particular should reflect on their actions and words," said Di Natale.

"These are the people who are coming out right now, who are not strong enough. Who simply can not hear the truth. They are cowards here.

"Despite your words (from the President) this morning, they pay no attention to our call for all to improve the standards in this place."

Mr. Di Natale revealed that he was "forced to think about his own role" by allowing the alleged abuse to be left unchecked and apologized to Ms. Hanson-Young for missing 39, intervene on his behalf in the past.

"I said I would get up now and call him whenever I heard him. That she would not be alone. And yet, this behavior continues. They do it again and again and again.

"These words can never be repeated. They hurt and they damage. "

The government and the opposition, represented by Mathias Cormann and Penny Wong, all supported Mr. Ryan's call for more civility.

Ghost Treasurer Chris Bowen has attacked the government several times on Sky News this morning.

He laughed at the parliamentary program next year. Parliament could sit just 10 days before the election campaign in April and May.

"They gave up," Bowen said.

"It s too difficult. It s too difficult. I mean, it's like the Alabama legislature, which is essentially part-time: "We're going to arrive when we feel like it, it's too hard."

"If the government has a program, clear plans, and a positive agenda for the country, then it will return parliament to see it legislate. It's a government that has given up. "

Bowen also criticized the government's threat to send Kerryn Phelps and Labor MPs Tony Zappia and Mike Freelander to the High Court if they voted in favor of Peter Dutton's dismissal.

He called it "a pathetic attempt to smear on the part of the land unit of the Liberal Party".

"What a pathetic joke," Bowen said.

"It's a low-rent, cheap and pathetic policy.

"They can make any threats they like about Dr. Phelps or anyone else. Mr. Dutton is the one with constitutional questions to answer. "

Dr. Phelps called the threat "corrupt tactics".

.@Bowenchris: The coalition can make any threats that please him @drkerrynphelps or someone else. @PeterDutton_MP is the one with constitutional questions to answer, not somebody else.

the Financial badysis According to Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, he retired from the G20 summit in Buenos Aires.

For the moment, Scott Morrison should still attend. But since Australia has been ruled out of a list of formal bilateral meetings with US President Donald Trump, the government would rather consider sending Finance Minister, Mathias Cormann.

Scott Morrison switched to 2GB radio this morning and confirmed that he had not been notified of Julia Banks' defection.

"Did she tell you?" Asked host Alan Jones.

"No. No, she did not, and of course it's disappointing," said Morrison.

"All our colleagues were disappointed. But we will not prevent Bill Shorten from becoming prime minister by being disappointed. We will prevent him from running out and continuing the case. "

Jones was particularly scathing about Banks' decision.

"She is a woman who was not even a member of the Liberal Party. She became a member of the Liberal Party during the preselection, "he said.

"How do you think all the Liberals who held the kiosks and worked hard to place it there, how do you think they feel?"

"I think they feel the same as Alan," Morrison said.

"I think they feel the same and they would have the right to think that."

The calendar of parliamentary sittings for 2019 was published last night.

Our political editor Malcolm Farr examined the issue and concluded that Parliament could sit only 10 days before the start of the election campaign on election day in May.

"At best, it will remain 14 days insufficient before being closed for general elections," Mal says.

"The calendar leaves no room for major legislation because the government avoids being embarrbaded by its lack of majority in both houses of parliament."

Labor described the program as a "surrender" of the government.

"If ordinary Australian workers only came to work ten days in eight months, they would be fired," said Bill Shorten.

In times of political crisis, it's always fun to flip through Today & # 39; hui for a clbadic Karl Stefanovic diatribes.

This morning, he criticized the Liberal Party's attitude toward women.

"It's a bit of a joke," Stefanovic said.

"For a very long time, women for various reasons have not been heard. They do not really have a concrete and effective voice, unless it respects the leadership and the power base dominated by men.

"The Liberal Party has more than just a perception problem. It's a party led by men and dominated. More and more, it looks like an old school, a boys club. The kind of thing that went out of fashion in the 80s. Well, it's going out of fashion fast.

"As we saw yesterday with Julia Banks and Julie Bishop, the women of this club have had enough. They want a voice, they want to be heard, they want a change, and I believe that this morning's change is imminent.

"It starts with a murmur in the hallways and it turns into a roar. Women inside the party have nothing to lose now, so watch this space. Does everyone listen? "

Julia Banks blinded the government when she left the Liberal Party yesterday, but it was no surprise to everyone.

According to Sky News, Banks informed her members a few weeks ago of her intentions. She did not tell her Liberal colleagues or the Prime Minister.

This morning, independent MP Kerryn Phelps confirmed that she knew that Ms Banks would leave in advance.

"Well, I knew enough to sit in the room yesterday at 12 o'clock to provide the support I thought she needed," Dr. Phelps said.

"It is reasonable for someone in this kind of situation to address people who are in the environment in which they are seeking entry for advice and support."

The workforce quickly jumped on the revelation, claiming that it showed that Mr. Morrison had no control.

"We now have a prime minister who is sort of an afterthought. You have a member of the resigning government telling other people, before the Prime Minister, that they are leaving, "said Ed Husic.

Businessman Dick Smith plans to run in Parliament as an independent in the next election, the The telegraph of the day reports.

Smith is closely monitoring the safe siege, Mackellar, previously held by Bronwyn Bishop, and is currently in the hands of backbench MP Jason Falinski.

Mr. Smith is politically active and has repeatedly called on Australia to reduce its immigration rate.

Yesterday, he posted a video in which he personified Prime Minister Scott Morrison and spoke about the "real cost of renewable energy." Mr. Smith argued that the idea that renewable energy could be cheaper than coal was "a lie".
