Question time in federal parliament

QUESTION TIME IN FEDERAL PARLIAMENT

WHAT WE LEARNED

* Australia has trained 127 potential female candidates for the Papua New Guinea election, for which voting begins on Saturday and ends on July 8. Since independence in 1975, only seven women have been elected to the PNG parliament.

WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTED TO SPIN

Anything that linked construction union official John Setka and the CFMEU to Labor leader Bill Shorten.

WHAT LABOR WANTED TO TALK ABOUT

If you are a pensioner, a weekend worker, a household with rising electricity costs or a parent of a child at a public or a Catholic school, you lose under this government? And if you are a millionaire or a parent of a child at the elite Kings School, you win.

THEY SAID WHAT

"The only hit list that honourable members opposite should be concerned about is (construction union official) John Setka's hit list, and that includes hardworking public servants." - Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull takes aim at Labor MPs.
