Okay, time to wrap up. What happened?
- the government has been at sixes and sevens over its message on Labor's negative gearing policy;
- Assistant Treasurer Kelly O'Dwyer was forced to clarify comments she made in which she said the policy would result in increased house prices;
- Ms O'Dwyer was brought into line in time for another question time which zeroed in on what the effect of the policy will be;
- Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull suggested it would cost the economy hundreds of millions of dollars;
- Labor frontbencher Gary Gray has criticised his party's position on Senate voting reform but will still vote along party lines; and
- Opposition leader Bill Shorten called Liberal senator Cory Bernardi a "homophobe".
It definitely feels like the second half of the week, doesn't it?
As usual, my thanks to Andrew Meares and Alex Ellinghausen for their super work and to you for reading and commenting.
