It has been quite the morning, so let’s recap quickly:

The Greens are calling for the government to establish a national childcare watchdog, which is something advocacy group The Parenthood supports.

The Coalition is still blowing itself up over net zero and pretending it all matters. Late yesterday two Liberal senators voted against Pauline Hanson bringing on a motion to scrap net zero, and Liberal senator Alex Antic and LNP senator Matt Canavan (along with other Nats) voted for it. Sussan Ley had told the party room to abstain.

Labor is under pressure to set a 2035 climate target that is science backed and actually cuts emissions, rather than the least we can do state we are currently in. The UN climate chief, Simon Stiell told ABC radio national that fossil fuel expansions needed to stop.

The Greens are leaving a motion to set up a parliamentary review into Aukus on the Senate papers until they get the numbers.
