I'm comfortable with Labor's strategy, and the Coalition has agreed to consider
amendments when Parliament resumes for what that's worth.
Me too. Morrison's attack became a fizzer. Labor isn't wedged. Ball is
back in COALition's court. If they don't address the amendments as
agreed in the Senate by Cormann, and softened already by Porter, it will
be another ground for a real vote of no confidence. There will already
be one if the Nauru doctor amendment passes with the votes. Scammo is
weak, and he knows it.
As Michelle Gratton pointed out in The Conversation this morning regarding their
proposed "divestiture" legislation: 'Even if [it] gets through the Senate next
year, a likely Labor election victory would mean we’ll probably never see this particular
“big stick” wielded. It’s highly doubtful the threat will have been worth the angst, or
the trashing of Liberal principles.'
Bets on a cabinet reshuffle before the election? The ones in their jobs
now are pathetic.
Merry Holidays. Too soon?

Sooner or later, I hate to break it to you, you're gonna die, so how do you
fill in the space between here and there? It's yours. Seize your space.
