Peter Dutton Peter Dutton & every single Coalition politician must be bleeding from humiliation tonight after Labor secured a 2nd Surplus in a row. Especially after LNP failed to deliver a single surplus for 9 years & produced a Trillion in Debt. How embarrassing.

This is the front page of the AFR online. You wouldn't know the budget is actually in surplus

ABC trying extremely hard to make people scared of “$9 billion in new spending announcements” as though this will affect aggregate demand and spook the RBA into raising interest rates. That figure is about .3% of GDP. We really deserve better analysis

Dutton has abused standing orders in this way time & time again, & instead of taking the Speaker’s warning (who should have booted him out) on the chin, has the gall to back talk & make more political points.
It’s time Dutton is kicked out surely

Peter Dutton too arrogant to accept his lashing by Speaker after abusing standing orders, stands up & insists he’s on the Speaker’s side & it’s PM Albanese who is being the bad guy.
A sarcastic Milton Dick “I thank the leader of the Opposition for his support of me.”🙄 #QT

Murray Watt reminds Perin Davey who demands Watt “go back to beef week” that she wasn’t even there🤦‍♂️& humiliates Bridget McKenzie by reminding her a live export class action case she asked on is a case her govt “never put up a single dollar to settle” compared to Labor who has💥

Anthony Chisholm asks LNP to stop wasting public money with stupid Q’s on notice after a surge in Q’s received inc “What Temp. the Dept buildings are currently set at”
