Not a lot, other than we have just made it through our first QT of the year.

Well done to all of you – take a moment for a breather. Maybe get a Zooper Dooper. Or bang your head against the wall – whatever seems less painful than what we just went through.

In terms of the politics of it all, it seems like both major parties are still trying to find their footing in this parliamentary year. The Coalition spent their time asking about existing tax write offs for company lunches like it was some sort of gotcha, when in reality it just let the government jibber jabber on about their own costings of the Coalition’s small business Schnitty tax breaks.

Labor want the focus to be on what they have done to address cost of living, while the Coalition seem content to focus their energy on what is happening outside of parliament, where they are dominating the media cycle.

But it was a fairly low energy return in general to what is meant to be the centerpiece of the parliamentary day.
