Morning all, just the sum of my initial inquiries. No one is expecting major fireworks in the economic policy debate this morning (apart from an amendment to be moved by the CFMEU’s Michael O’Connor regarding new oversight for Asic and Apra, which has come out of left field).
The values debate is the first cab off the rank, and seems unlikely to be controversial. The environment debate this afternoon could get interesting. There’s been a battle about environmental regulation behind the scenes for some weeks, and it is not yet resolved. There’s some talk that Bill Shorten will be involved in settling the final decision. We’ll keep you posted when we learn more.
There is also, I hear, an unresolved fight in the right about their candidates for the national executive.
