We now have Ted O’Brien complaining that the government hasn’t ruled out taxing more unrealised gains and Anthony Albanese gets excited because there is nothing that excites Albanese, Chris Bowen and Jim Chalmers more than getting to respond to an O’Brien question. Now that Steven Hamilton is his chief of staff, there is going to be a lot more enjoyment in certain Labor quarters in stepping up to that plate.

Albanese has some sport and then O’Brien has a point of order. Milton Dick asks if Albanese has concluded his answer, to which Albanese responds:

We might give him a go.

But Milton Dick is trying really, really hard to have some sort of order so he defends O’Brien:

It’s not about giving anyone a go. The deputy leader is entitled to a point of order, and he’ll now make it.

But Ted O’Brien has to Ted O’Brien:

Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. And we have had over two minutes of a preamble from the Prime Minister..it’s on relevance. He hasn’t actually answered the question. He has dodged the same question the treasurer has dodged. What do you….

Alex Hawke tries to jump in to help, but Dick shuts everyone down to try and save all of us from this:

Albanese:

The policy that we have is the one that we took to the election and the policy that we have is for lower taxes. The policy that they have is for higher taxes.
