Anthony Albanese sticks around after QT to hear Bob Katter’s statement on indulgence about helps for the floods and better road infrastructure in north Queensland and to respond. He makes a point of saying how well the federal government has been working with the state LNP Queensland government to respond to the floods disaster.

That’s because a) that’s what you would expect from governments during a climate disaster where lives and livelihoods are on the line and b) well David Crisafulli and Peter Dutton aren’t exactly best friends.

Looking back at question time, which, given we are in the pointy end of the election cycle could be the last one (although Labor peeps are still pointing to May, at least privately – but honestly, who the hell knows and ultimately, it truly doesn’t matter) you could see two things at play:

The Coalition continuing to push what it could out of the anti-Semitic allegations

The Coalition trying to make a point of Labor’s term as ‘1,000 days in power’ (the language being a deliberate choice because it makes it seem like it has been a lot longer than almost three years) and the failures it sees from what was promised to what was delivered (housing, energy prices etc) and Labor seeking to cement its record against the Coalition – while reminding everyone that Peter Dutton has been in parliament for a long, long time and a major part of the former ten years of Coalition governments.

And this is what you are going to see in the election campaign proper. Day in, day out.
