Question time in federal parliament

WHAT WE LEARNED

* A review into a controversial schools program that focuses on sexual diversity and gender issues was standing up for children, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull argued. It was not, as Greens MP Adam Bandt claimed, putting young people's welfare at risk and throwing a successful anti-bullying campaign under a bus "just because the bigots in the conservative brotherhood" told him what to do.

* Part of the multiple Oscar-winning film Mad Max: Fury Road was filmed in a sand mine near Penrith in western Sydney, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop revealed as she spruiked how important was the $6 billion industry to the economy.

* The government exhumed Labor's dead, buried and cremated carbon tax as a political weapon against the opposition.

WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTED TO SPIN

Overhauling media ownership rules the PM described as a relic of the previous century and applied to a time before the internet and pay television.

WHAT LABOR WANTED TO TALK ABOUT

Tony Abbott and how the former prime minister "shirtfronted" Turnbull on budget policy during a meeting of coalition MPs on Tuesday.

YOU SAID WHAT?

"He forgot to tell the leader of the opposition - the bib and bob of basket cases - when it comes to policies on negative gearing," - Treasurer Scott Morrison lampoons both Bill Shorten and his shadow treasurer Chris Bowen in the one sentence.

TWEETED

"Surely there's something in standing orders to stop @M_McCormackMP wearing that hideous Hawthorn tie in #QT," Nationals colleague Darren Chester.
