Oops – very quick PS:

Updated

Estimates is back to talking about whether or not the prime minister pushed in front of a punter at a Brisbane pub.

So that’s where we might leave today.

We’ll be back tomorrow morning with the last day of this sitting week’s shenanigans. Given how tired everyone is already – and it’s only Wednesday – we are either going to descend into outright insanity, or Lars von Trier levels of insanity. There is no in between.

A massive thank you to the Guardian’s brains trust for yet another day of dragging my caucus through the mire, and to Mike Bowers, for putting up with me, despite his erroneous view that Chicken Crimpys are the best Shapes (it’s clearly BBQ). You can find a bit of our day, and our own descent into insanity in the instagram story of @pyjamapolitics. You’ll find Mike’s work at @mikepbowers

And thank you to everyone who read and followed along today. You keep this little engine ticking along and we thank you for it.

We’ll catch you back here early tomorrow morning. Remember to follow along with @meadea for ABC estimates updates tonight. We’ll bring you the latest on that tomorrow morning.

Take care of you.

Updated

ABC estimates, also known as Abetz-imates is on tonight.

As always, it promises to be very interesting. The fabulous Amanda Meade will be following along for us. As she reported a little earlier on the blog, Emma Alberici will no doubt be discussed.

Michaelia Cash has appeared in estimates, representing the attorney general. Labor duly take aim.

Senator Murray Watt asks her whether she’s been interviewed by the federal police over the leaks about the AWU raids. She won’t answer the question, because it’s got no relevance to the attorney general, whom she is representing.

She tells Watt she can ask the question on Tuesday.

Watt says:

I’m sure we will. But have you received legal representation from government lawyers concerning the investigation into this raid and the leak from your office?

Cash responds:

I don’t believe so. There is a case obviously that the AWU have brought in relation to the fact that they don’t want to release the information … or provide the evidence that donations were or were not made when Bill Shorten was the national secretary and whether or not they were properly authorised.

That is a case that the AWU are fighting, they don’t want to produce the information … so there is legal representation in relation to the AWU case.

Craig Laundy says it would “probably be easier to walk away [from the company tax cuts] but it would be the wrong thing to do”.

“I get that it is unpopular to prosecute and the challenge we’ve got is 97% of Australians in their lifetime will be PAYE tax earners, 3% will be entrepreneurs. That is the reality, the weight of the issue we are dealing with.”

But asked directly if the government will take its company tax cut package to the election, he said:

“I think it is the right thing to do for the economy. It is a centrepiece to an economic plan, which has, by the way, the economy off the back of it, never seen business confidence higher in years, and it is employing people.”

But does he want to take it to the election?

“Prosecuting the case, it is the right thing to do.”

But does he want to take it to an election?

“I have no dramas arguing it is the right thing to do, it continues the plan that is in place, the plan that is in place is continuing to deliver economic benefits for all Australians, especially those extra million people who have in the last four and a half years have picked up a job.”

Also asked about whether he had any concerns about what Andrew Hastie said in the Federation Chamber last night, Steve Ciobo told Sky this:

Look, I haven’t seen the information that Andrew Hastie has seen. What I would say is that there is obviously a high degree of responsibility that goes with parliamentary privilege. With all of the dealings I have had with Dr Chau, I have never been concerned about any aspect of the dealings I have had, that there was anything untoward, or anything any improper about it.

Have I had been, I would have raised it with authorities, so never once has that been my experience. And I would also note that Dr Chau has brought action against those who have suggested otherwise. So in our system we operate on the presumption of innocence until proven guilty and I think that is an important principle to bear in mind in these sorts of circumstances.

Asked on Sky about China and Australia’s relationship, the trade minister had this to say:

Updated

In Senate estimates, Liberal senator James Paterson, has given the finance and public administration committee an update on the saga of whether Malcolm Turnbull cut in front of a man nicknamed Bluey at Carindale Hotel.

Paterson referred to this story in the Courier Mail, with footage that purports to show there was no “line”, appearing to contradict the account that Turnbull cut in:

Mathias Cormann muses, “I wonder whether Kyle and Jackie O will report on that”, in relation to an interview Bluey gave yesterday blaming it all on Turnbull, which Kimberley Kitching helpfully read into the estimates hansard yesterday.

Kitching responded that KIIS FM has made a statement – which I can’t find – that the footage “may have been doctored”.

So we’re into the conspiracy theory territory, with Turnbull either shamefully framed by Bluey or footage wickedly doctored by Turnbull flunkeys.

Updated

Whether or not Malcolm Turnbull pushed in front of “Bluey” at a Brisbane pub is once again being discussed in estimates.

The Courier Mail has footage that allegedly clears the PM. Paul Karp was watching that hearing – I’ll bring you his post in a moment.

So in the US, the questions are over whether the president’s campaign team colluded with Russia and an alleged blackmail tape involving urination and prostitutes, and in Australia, we are asking about whether or not our leader cut someone off at the pub.

I love this country.

No byelection date is given.

The wait continues – is your money on 30 June or 7 July?

Updated

Anthony Albanese to Malcolm Turnbull: (I missed the exact wording, but it is about the Melbourne airport link and how the government should stop pretending these projects will make a financial return, based on a report from the Grattan Institute.)

Turnbull:

I thank the honourable member for his question and I recognise that the honourable member, when he was responsible for infrastructure, paid no regard to getting value for the Australian taxpayers’ dollars in infrastructure, paid no regard whatsoever. He adopted the lazy approach of just throwing money out like an ATM to states, that was his approach.

Well, we are determined to deliver the economic infrastructure Australians need, and we are determined to ensure that the Australian taxpayer gets the value they deserve, and that means that where it is appropriate, the commonwealth will take an equity stake in that infrastructure, as we have in the Snowy Hydro, as we are in the western Sydney airport, and we look forward to being able to build a rail line to Tullamarine airport, in partnership with the state government.

We hope that it will be a Liberal state government late in the year, but we look forward to building that with the state government, and they can say the honourable member is that we will do all we can to ensure that we bring in as much cooperation, investment from other parties, from the private sector, to make sure that that rail line is not just a line from the city to the airport, but is one that is strengthening communities, that enhances energy and creates value.

Now, that is the difference. The lazy Labor approach, lazy with other people’s money, reckless with other people’s money, from the approach we are taking, one of commitment, of enterprise, using the most innovative and modern financing techniques to get better value for Australian taxpayers and the infrastructure Australians need and deserve.

Then Greg Hunt says some things and we are done.

In environment Senate estimates on Tuesday, it was confirmed that the $444m grant to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation in the 2018 budget was given without a competitive tender.

Labor senator Jenny McAllister is probing the grant again today with finance department officials in Senate estimates.

McAllister suggested that giving the $444m in one year was a “sneaky way” to bring spending forward, which the finance minister, Mathias Cormann, rejected. Finance department officials took on notice a question about when they first learned about the grant.

McAllister suggested the process for giving the grant was “chaotic”, which set Cormann off on to a long rant:

You know what chaos? When you were in government there were illegal boat arrivals as far south as Geraldton! They would’ve arrived at the Swan river if you’d stayed in – that is chaos.

So there you go, we circumnavigated the continent from the Great Barrier Reef to Geraldton in one answer! Labor senators object on the grounds of relevance but the questioning moves on.

Updated

Terri Butler to Scott Morrison:

This morning, Amanda Stoker said about Labor’s request for more on the costs of the government’s income tax scheme, and I quote, if it means that they need more information to do that, I believe that is being organised.

Can the treasurer tell us when the government is going to release the seven-year cost of his personal income tax scheme?

Morrison:

The cost of the program is $13bn over the forward estimates and $110bn over the next 10 years. That is exactly the practice observed by this government ever since we came to power; it was not practice observed by those opposite.

I have a simple proposition to put to the opposition: if you support lower and fairer taxes, vote for the bill. If you think 72% of Australian should have a marginal tax rate of no more than 32.5c, vote for the bill. If you think that the government should do something about bracket creep not steal away from Australians’s bracket creep, vote for the bill. That is what they should do.

He finishes with some lines about the Labor party having its hands over everything you’ve earned.

He sits down so Steve Ciobo can say some things that have been said in press conferences and press releases. #deathtodixers

The ABC says all but one of the prime minister’s complaints about the Alberici story were rejected by the independent complaints unit and her report was accurate and newsworthy.

“It has today been reported that the prime minister’s office has submitted a list of ‘11 grievances’ in relation to a report on the 7pm news by Emma Alberici,” ABC news said in a statement.

“The report focused on concerns and criticisms raised by experts regarding the approach taken to innovation by Australian business and, to some degree, the government. The ABC’s independent complaints review department has investigated the complaint.

“Apart from one clarification, which was promptly acknowledged – that Dr Roy Green is not currently an adviser to the government – all aspects of the complaint were rejected.

“The review concluded that the story was accurate, newsworthy, in the public interest and presented in context. ABC news stands by the story.”

Updated

Jenny Macklin to Malcolm Turnbull:

Can the prime minister confirmed that since coming to office, he’s proposed increasing the GST, proposed broadening the GST, proposed state-based income taxes only to abandon all of these policies. Now that government members are pushing to dump the big business handout, will the prime minister once again be humiliated by his back bench, forcing him to dump yet another of his signature tax policies?

Turnbull:

We believe in lower taxes ... [yadda, yadda, yadda] ... We believe in fair taxes ... We passed the multinational tax legislation... [etc, etc, etc] ... Chris Bowen once wrote a book and agreed with us ... [and so on and so on and so on].

Updated

Joanne Ryan to Malcolm Turnbull:

Channel Nine news has reported that government ministers consider now could be the right time to drop the big business handout. For the benefit of his ministers, including the minister for environment and energy, will he spend the next three minutes outlining why his government is resolutely committed to taking its entire corporate tax cut to the next election?

Scott Morrison takes the question:

On this side of the house, we believe that Australian business needs more competitive taxes so they can stay ahead, employ more Australians – there are more than a million Australians who have a job under this government and the many more who will collect the job under this government as long as we continue to stick to those policies, as we do of delivering more competitive tax rates for Australian business. We are following some very important principles and they are principled that the opposition used to believe in quite strongly.

There are some very loud and excited words after this. But he’s talking at the same volume and speed I imagine Wayne Bennett employed when he found out the Broncos’ board was talking to Craig Bellamy to replace him and I do not have the mental capacity to translate that today. (Essentially it’s “Labor wants to tax you, we believe in low taxes, also your face is”.)

Updated

Peter Dutton has HEAPS to say about alternative border protection policies. #deathtodixers.

I return from getting my second biscuit (earl grey and they are delicious) in time to hear Dutton refer to Bill Shorten as “sanctimonious”. He is made to withdraw.

Chris Bowen to Malcolm Turnbull:

I refer to the prime minister’s previous answer. Do the numbers in the budget also presume the prime minister’s secret deal with Senator Hanson on his corporate tax cuts will also be implemented in full?

Turnbull:

I refer the honourable member to my earlier answers. The budget delivers more money from the hard-working efforts of Australians, they can keep more of what they earn. The Labor party calls that a gift, the Labor party calls that a giveaway. Well, it is not. Something, Mr Speaker, what we’re doing in the budget is that Australians can keep more of the money they earn and, and the benefit goes to those on low and middle incomes, and then over seven years, that big, personal income tax reform will ensure that 94% of Australians pay no more than 32.5c for any additional dollar they earn.

That is a plan to reform the tax system, and it is a good plan. It is one that will reduce the barriers, the disincentives to hard work, to aspiration, to getting ahead. It is one that encourages Australians to do more of what they have been doing over the last four and a half years and creating, creating the jobs that we have seen – 1m, over 1m jobs, 1,013,600 jobs. That is, that is record jobs growth that we have seen, and it is because our economic plan is working.

He then moves to the Longman byelection (the LNP finally have a candidate there - Trevor Ruthenberg, come on down)

The Labor party has a truck going around Longman claiming that funding has been reduced for the hospitals in Longman, completely untrue – a liar, an absolute lie. More funding every year going into Queensland hospitals and, Mr Speaker, under the new five-year hospital deal, well over $7m of additional funding for Queensland public hospitals, an increase of 34%.

The Labor party, Mr Speaker, it does not yet realise that you cannot make a lie into a fact by repeating it again and again. Their lies will not wash because the Australian people know the budget is delivering our economic plan is delivering, and it is proved by that strong record growth in jobs.

Once again, both Labor and the Coalition are right. Funding is going up for health (it kinda has to, because the population keeps growing) but it’s not going up by as much as had been set down. (The 2014 budget had some cuts in the forwards for both health and education) So funding is increasing. But it’s not increasing by as much. Which is both an increase and a cut, depending which side of the fence you sit on.

Christopher Pyne just wants you to know that he really doesn’t like unions.

This gives me time to get a biscuit to go with my tea. #grateful

Michael McCormack says some things. Which is good, because my tea cup was empty.

Sharon Bird to Malcolm Turnbull:

The prime minister refuses to provide the details of deal with Pauline Hanson to secure the passage of his corporate tax cuts. Given media revelations about that deal today, will the prime minister now tell the Australian people the details of that secret deal or is the prime minister so arrogant and out of touch that he considers the Australian people do not deserve to know just how far he will go to give tax relief to big business?

#theprimeministerdoesnotanswerthequestion

Updated

Kelly O’Dwyer also says some things #deathtodixers

Clare O’Neil to Malcolm Turnbull:

Federal police commissioner, Andrew Colvin, told Senate estimates today that this year’s budget will see $205m cut from the Australian federal police. The commissioner said this cut may hit the Australian federal police’s work [combatting] illicit drugs and firearms. How can the government justify cutting the resources of the Australian federal police, who work hard to keep drugs and guns off our streets?

Angus Taylor takes this one.

We know on this side of the House that the first priority of any good government is the safety and security of all Australians. We also know that the government has not reduced funding for resourcing to the Australian federal police, amongst the very best in the world.

We have a proven track record of giving our agencies the powers and resources they need to keep Australians safe. This year, we have committed $1.485bn, almost $1.5bn of funding to the federal police, higher than last year and a record – the highest level of spending ever. Since we got into government, we invested $1.5bn ...

We put $116m into gang-related crime evasion, and just a week ago, the prime minister and myself and the minister for home affairs announced $300m for a comprehensive aviation security package. That includes 190 new positions for Australian federal police personnel.

Mr Speaker, when Labor is in opposition, they talk a big game on national security. They talk a big game on national security. But the real test is what they do when they are in government.

In 2010, Labor cut $20m from the federal police’s funding. The next year, they cut an additional $10m from the Australian federal police funding. And to break the record, in 2012, they ripped a further $65m out of federal police funding. That is a total of $95m of funding ripped away from the federal police. And that was at a time when we know they were spending like a drunken sailors.

Like health and education funding, it is true to say that funding has increased for the AFP. The dispute is over that it is not increasing as much as they thought it was. So forward plans which have been made, now have to be shuffled to meet what the actual budget it.

Sarah Hanson-Young has reissued her earlier statement, correcting the Captain Cook reference to Australia Day:

The Liberal government has refused to rule out further cuts to the ABC and does not know the name of the Indigenous nation it is planning to place yet another memorial to Captain James Cook on, it was revealed in Senate estimates today.

Australian Greens communications and arts spokesperson, senator Sarah Hanson-Young, asked minister Mitch Fifield and his department what Indigenous nation the monument would be erected upon during Senate estimates this morning.

Despite an important national debate about changing the date of Australia Day away from the First Fleet’s landing, the government has decided to strip funding from the ABC to spend it on yet another monument to colonialism, on the land of the Dharawal people

The Liberal government is waging a culture war against not only the ABC, but both the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in our community who speak out against the divisive commemoration of the colonialism that caused the 200 years of displacement and pain to our First Peoples.

The minister and his department staff were also unsure of how many memorials, statues or plaques there are to Captain Cook already stand, calling into question the value of another such statue.

It is deeply concerning that the Liberals cannot guarantee there will be no further cuts to the ABC, despite the broadcaster taking a $337m hit in recent years. It is clear the Liberal government cannot be trusted to protect our public broadcaster.

This government is out of touch with the Australian people – taking money from our most trusted news service, which will no doubt lead to further job cuts, and ignoring why our First Australians find the celebration of the arrival of Captain Cook so painful in one fell swoop.

Given that apparently, the majority of Australians can’t identify who our head of state is, she’s not exactly Robinson Crusoe in getting parts of our European history mixed up.

Updated

Scott Morrison: loud noises #deathtodixers

Bill Shorten to Malcolm Turnbull:

The federal police commissioner said today that the budget will mean that 567 staff will be cut from the Australian federal police over the next four years. Why is it that the prime minister is cutting 567 federal police staff at the same time as he is giving $80bn to big business, including $17bn to the big banks?

Turnbull:

There has never been an Australian government that provide more support for the Australian federal police than the one I [lead]. Funding has not been reduced. I can confirm that the AFP funding has risen in the 2018-19 budget to $1.485bn. And this funding increase provides almost 100 [additional staff].

... Including within the funding is $107m for aviation air cargo and international mail security, $68.6m for the establishment of the Australian centre to counter child exploitation, $4.m for assistance to Papua New Guinea for hosting Apec this year, and $12.6m in additional funding for our national security agencies. That is in addition to last year’s $321.4m investment, which was the largest single funding boost for domestic policing in a decade.

Clare O’Neil attempts to table a parliamentary library document that she says shows the biggest funding for the AFP came in 2010-11 under Labor, but she is not granted permission.

Updated

Criticism by the Turnbull government of the ABC’s political correspondent Emma Alberici refuses to die as it emerges the prime minister has lodged a second series of complaints about her reporting.

Last week the ABC released part of an independent report that essentially cleared Alberici’s coverage of corporate tax cuts that the government had complained loudly about in April.

Now a TV report by Alberici that aired earlier this month has sparked a lengthy list of new complaints from the prime minister and his communications minister, Mitch Fifield, Fairfax has reported.

The ABC has already corrected one element in the story, which was about the government’s record on research and innovation, to clarify that Roy Green, the former dean of the University of Technology Sydney business school is not an adviser to the government.

The issue is likely to come up again when the ABC managing director, Michelle Guthrie, fronts senate estimates on Wednesday evening.

Cathy McGowan has today’s crossbench question:

The NDIS is a very important initiative. I am delighted that it has been rolled out in my electorate of Indi. Can you expand on concerns about those on the autism spectrum having limited access? Can you please take some action to address the delays that people have been referring to?”

Dan Tehan:

... I can inform the member for Indi that there has been no change in regards to people with autism qualifying for the scheme.

Everyone with autism who is qualified for the scheme will be provided the help and support they need. As recommended by the productivity commission, ongoing work continues on how people access the scheme. I can ensure the member that no changes will be made unless they are informed by research, evidence and extensive consultation with stakeholders and the community.

I have written today to the organisations that support people with autism to confirm this. Finally, as the treasurer stated in his budget address, every dollar and every cent committed to delivering the National Disability Insurance Scheme remains in place and always will.

The crossbench questions are perfect examples of what government dixers should be. Asking questions actual constituents would care about.

Scott Morrison says some things.

Bill Shorten to Malcolm Turnbull:

Since the member for Canning has made his statement last night, has the prime minister sought information from our intelligence agencies about the implications of publicly sharing the details of an FBI investigation which has been provided by our ally?

Turnbull:

Yes, I have.

This is like pulling teeth.

Katharine Murphy, from inside the chamber, hears someone from the government benches call out:

“Whose side are you on?” as Bill Shorten asks his question.

Updated

Bill Shorten to Malcolm Turnbull:

Over the last night’s statement by the member of Canning, who was hand-picked by the prime minister to be trusted with intelligence and national security information. Has the prime minister or his office and department been informed at any time by representatives of the FBI that any [committee representative] was authorised to disclose information about an FBI investigation which was obtained during confidential briefing from our ally?

Turnbull:

My understanding of the briefing, at which a number of Labor members were present, at least one was, was not classified briefing and the honourable member for Canning was not, it was not classified briefing, and he referred to information that he had learned in that briefing in his remarks last night.

I have to say as I said last night, the allegations are not new. They have been made before, they are subject to legal proceedings and I do not propose to say anything more about them because they are subject to judicial proceedings.

Sarah Hanson-Young’s statement on the proposed new Captain Cook statue (the latest in a long line of James Cook memorials) has raised some eyebrows. See if you can spot why:

“Despite an important national debate about changing the date of Australia Day away from Captain Cook’s landing at Botany Bay, the government has decided to spend taxpayer money it is stripping from the ABC on yet another monument to Captain Cook on the land of the Dharawal people.

“The Liberal government is waging a culture war against not only the ABC, but both the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in our community who speak out against the divisive commemoration of the colonialism that caused 200 years of displacement and pain to our First Peoples.

“The minister and his department staff were also unsure of how many memorials, statues or plaques there are to Captain Cook already standing, calling into question the value of another such statue.

“It is deeply concerning that the Liberals cannot guarantee there will be no further cuts to the ABC, despite the broadcaster taking a $337m hit in recent years. It is clear the Liberal government cannot be trusted to protect our public broadcaster.”

January 26 commemorates the date all 11 ships from the First Fleet arrived on Botany Bay in 1788. The lead ship in the fleet arrived two days earlier. Captain Cook landed in April in 1770.

For those of you who were interested in Ged Kearney’s speech on Monday, Katharine Murphy has just filed this report:

The Victorian state Labor conference is to debate an urgency motion calling for an end to offshore immigration detention and the transfer of all remaining asylum seekers to the Australian mainland within 90 days.

The state conference this weekend will discuss Labor’s policy towards asylum seekers and refugees, regarded internally as frontrunning the debate on the hot-button issue, which will play out during the ALP’s national conference in July.

An urgency motion, drafted by Labor for Refugees and seen by Guardian Australia, calls on the ALP, “when in federal government, to close offshore detention centres, transit centres and other camps on Manus and Nauru within the first 90 days, and to bring all the children, women and men who are refugees or seeking asylum remaining there to Australia”.

Porn tweet 'like' not hacking - AFP

Remember that time Greg Hunt’s twitter account liked a pornographic tweet? The Australian federal police confirmed that it has finished its investigation and found no evidence of criminality.

“There was no crime. The account was not hacked in a criminal sense,” the federal police commissioner, Andrew Colvin, says.

Hunt, at the time, said his account had been hacked and called for an investigation.

Colvin offers some sage advice: “I think social media hygiene is an issue that we all need to be conscious of. That is about who has access to your Twitter account, how many people have access, do you know who has access to your account. I’ll leave it at that.”

Twitter apparently gave some information to police during the investigation.

Updated

And because it’s hump day, here’s a little estimates treat:

Some A-grade trolling going on from all sides here.

What a legacy Clive Palmer has created.

The Australian federal police commissioner, Andrew Colvin, says the investigation into the media tipoff about the AWU raids is important but not “the highest priority” compared with other offences investigated by the AFP.

Colvin again vented his frustration about the now notorious leak about policy activity, which allowed media to turn up at the AWU’s Sydney and Melbourne offices as the raids took place.

Labor senator Murray Watt notes it has been 211 days since the investigation into the leak began, well past an early estimate that it would only take a “short number of months”.

Colvin says:

This is an offence that carries a penalty of two years’ imprisonment. In the scale of the matters that the AFP is generally dealing with, it’s not a matter that affords the highest priority.

But having said that, it is an important investigation and I understand it gets to the core of some very important issues.

It certainly frustrates me that this was a leak about police activity. I’m on the record as saying I find that frustrating.

Watt pushes Colvin to tell the public what is still outstanding in the investigation. Are there more witnesses to be interviewed or phone records to be obtained?

The question prompts swift intervention from the chair, Ian MacDonald, and Zed Seselja, who say police can’t talk about ongoing investigations.

There is some argy-bargy about whether ministers can make such an intervention on the behalf of an independent policing agency.

Colvin says answering such questions would jeopardise the investigation. He is pressed and claims public interest immunity, prompting a short break. The committee grants the immunity and on we go, Watt’s question remaining unanswered.

Updated

Where's Michaelia Cash?

There’s been a little more questioning from Labor senator Murray Watt on the presence, or lack thereof, of Michaelia Cash at estimates.

Labor is keen to grill her further on the raid on the Australian Workers’ Union office last year.

Liberal senator Zed Seselja described Watt’s earlier tweet about Cash’s absence as “misleading”.

Seselja says Cash is not the minister representing the AFP. She is the minister representing the attorney general.

Watt asks whether we can expect to see Cash later in the day.

Seselja says: “I don’t know. All I know is that the minister representing [the AFP] is minister [Mitch] Fifield, and I am filling in for minister Fifield.”

Labor’s Richard Marles had a chat to Sky’s Kieran Gilbert this morning about his and Penny Wong’s upcoming plans to visit China, and how he viewed the relationship between the two countries.

We would be very keen to try and make a visit of that kind happen. At the end of the day our relationship with China is fundamental. I mean, everyone knows that I’m a very keen supporter of our alliance with the United States, but that said, our relationship with China is a profoundly important relationship and it needs to be more than simply an economic relationship. It needs to be a better political relationship and I can imagine in time growing the defence relationship as well.

I think it does require us to look at the positive sides of China. We often talk about human rights issues in China, and we should and that’s fair enough, but it’s also true that China is responsible for the single biggest alleviation of poverty in human history. That’s an enormous human rights achievement. So I think we do need to be open-minded in the way in which we build our relationship with China.

The way I look at it, Kieran, is that to me the world looks a lot safer from where we sit here when we see the relationship between America and China improving. If that’s our view – it makes no sense for us not to do everything we can within our power to improve our own relationship with China.”

Steve Ciobo has spoken this morning about why the EU trade deal is important:

We currently export around $3.6bn worth of agricultural exports. We import around $4.9bn of imports from the EU. Now that’s got to change. Five hundred million people versus 24-25 million here in Australia. But that is only one fragment of our trade investment relationship with the European Union.

We have tremendous opportunity with the EU to do more in a range of areas.

The difficulty of course, are the EU trade laws. And also, none of the EU countries are prepared to give ground and have their industries potentially suffer, to make way for more Australian exports.

The French president, Emmanuel Macron, said he’d been assured that the common EU agricultural market wouldn’t be affected by any trade deals, which could potentially see Australian farmers locked out of the single market.

But the National Farmers’ Federation has welcomed the news that negotiations have opened.

Mark Dreyfus has responded to Paul Karp’s story that the government doesn’t see any need for a federal Icac:

After months of prevarication from the Coalition, attorney general Christian Porter has written to Labor and formally refused the offer of bipartisan support for the creation of a national integrity commission.

Despite a bipartisan select committee report to the contrary, Mr Porter has determined there is no ‘persuasive evidence’ that there are gaps in the current system for tackling corruption at the federal level.

Labor does not agree. We believe the current system – despite many agencies doing important work – is fragmented and further coordination is worth pursuing.

That’s why Bill Shorten announced in January, Labor will legislate for a national integrity commission, with all the powers of a standing royal commission, would be legislated within the first 12 months of a Labor government.

Mr Porter used to say that he was ‘not closed-minded’ to the proposal – so what changed?

It is time for both parties to acknowledge that we have to do better, if we are to regain the trust of those we represent.

Labor is prepared to take the important steps towards that goal. It’s disappointing that the government is not.

Panama Papers investigation ongoing

The federal police say they are still investigating revelations emerging from the explosive Panama Papers, a massive leak of documents from law firm Mossack Fonseca, which was investigated by the Guardian and others in 2016.

The AFP is yet to lay any charges related to the documents.

It still holds a 170kg of silver bullion and coins it seized during a related raid on a property in Queensland.

Senator David Leyonhjelm wants to know how long police can hold the bullion.

The AFP commissioner, Andrew Colvin, says:

That is correct, senator, that investigation is ongoing, there have been no charges laid, and police are still in possession of the silver bullion.

We will hold as long as our investigation continues, if the owner of the bullion wishes to make a claim and take it to court, I’m sure they could do that. But at this stage that hasn’t been the case.

Labor’s candidate for Braddon, Justine Keay, has gone on Tasmania Talks with Brian Carlton, and he is after an apology for her triggering a byelection.

Keay is one of the MPs who had to resign when the high court ruled Labor’s understanding of the “reasonable steps” test was wrong because she was a dual citizen at nomination time for the 2016 election.

Keay says:

I know the people of Braddon – this is going to be an inconvenience for them – and I have apologised for that.

In a marathon 20-minute interview Carlton pushes her to admit that she caused the byelection, but Keay says only “the actions that led to the byelection for me was about complying with the legal advice I received and acting in good faith at all times”.

Carlton refers to the fact the nomination form requires a candidate to declare they are not disqualified by section 44 of the constitution, which includes the ban on foreign citizens.

But Carlton over-eggs it, wrongly claiming she took “no steps” to resign.

Keay then misstates Australian law:

Under Australian law I was considered not to be a dual citizen, based on the Sykes v Cleary interpretation. It was a legitimate interpretation that only changed two weeks ago.

The first sentence is just wrong – nobody claims the reasonable steps means that a person is no longer a dual citizen. The second point is arguable, because the test was clarified in the Matt Canavan case in October, but some constitutional experts weren’t clear on that until the Katy Gallagher decision.

Carlton says the legal advice is now “obsolete” – well, on that they can agree – but it doesn’t stop the interview, which continues for another 10 excruciating minutes, with Carlton accusing Keay of treating the electorate with contempt.

So just further to what Christopher was reporting, Andrew Colvin originally said he wanted no threshold for his officers to be able to ask for your ID at airports. He later changed that to “low” threshold. These are paraphrased quotes from the hearing.

Nick McKim: You don’t need threshold to have conversation. You’re not asking for lowering of threshold, you’re asking for no threshold.

Colvin: Correct.

McKim: So AFP officer can go up to someone and demand they show ID. I think this is unprecedented in Australia’s history to give police the powers to demand ID with no suspicion that someone is committing an offence.

Colvin: It’s not unprecedented, unusual. There are instances under state legislation.

McKim: I think this is a step too far down the road to authoritarianism in Australia.

Derryn Hinch, who supports the regulation change, said he was still worried about racial profiling, basing his concerns on what he sees occurring in the US.

Colvin: There is a world of difference between our culture and that in the US. Our officers are well trained, and we ensure our officers do not engage in racial profiling.

Colvin said it is a matter between the government and the airlines about why airlines don’t ask for ID at check in (while they might do it at the desk, they don’t do it at the self-check in stations)

As for whether we will be heading down the pupil scanning route we are seeing in America, Home Affairs chief Michael Pezzullo said if the threat mandates it, then it will be put in place.

Basically, Asio provides the intelligence, AFP and Border Force talk about how it would be implemented and then the government would put the policy in place.

The committee then moved back to what gap the ID check laws filled.

Colvin said the current threshold for asking for ID - reasonable suspicion a crime has been committed or will be committed - did not ‘match the situation’ his officers faced.

So, he said, the AFP put this proposal to the government.

Asked to provide what countries have these sort of powers by Murray Watt, who asked this same question of Pezzullo earlier in the week, Colvin said all adult passengers in the US have to show ID to travel domestically.

But the change being proposed here is not the same in the US - because they have constitutionally protection under their bill of rights - which we do not.

Colvin then corrected the record - the AFP doesn’t want no threshold, just a “lowering of the threshold.”

But they don’t know what that will look like.

Penny Wong jumped in, asking “I understand you don’t have the detail of how that will be operationalised, but you must have a sense of what you are asking for.”

Colvin didn’t answer the question.

McKim was flabbergasted. “Wow,’ was all he said.

Over in the legal and constitutional affairs estimates, we’re back on to the government’s proposal to allow police to conduct random ID checks at airports.

Liberal senator Ian Macdonald asks rhetorically whether he is “particularly shifty looking”, because he is always asked to produce ID at airport counters. It happens at hotels too, apparently.

The Australian federal police commissioner, Andrew Colvin, assures him it’s quite standard for passengers to be asked for identification when checking in.

Glad we cleared that up.

A bit earlier, senators Murray Watt and Penny Wong tried to understand when police could ask people to produce ID at airports under the new powers. What threshold of suspicion needs to be reached?

Under current law, police need to suspect a person has committed, is committing, or about to commit a serious offence – one that’s punished by 12 months or more of imprisonment.

The AFP won’t be pinned down on how low the threshold will be under the new legislation.

Colvin says it will be a “low threshold” rather than “no threshold”, but won’t say what precisely police want. The home affairs department secretary, Michael Pezzullo, says of the current arrangements:

It will be advanced by the government … that that’s too high a threshold relative to the nature of the threat.

Clive Palmer followed through with his threat to send his latest tome to the press gallery (we here at Guardian HQ did not receive any copies and we are totally fine with that), with the obvious reaction being – how can you spend so much money on a vanity project (it’s two volumes, hard cover and essentially every press release and speech he has ever given, already available on the internet for free) when Queensland Nickel workers are owed so much in benefits.

Cathy O’Toole had a bit to say about that this morning:

I find it absolutely outrageous and quite frankly insulting to my community that I would receive a book, or two books in fact, from Clive Palmer, that have apparently cost around two hundred thousand to produce when I have people in my community, like Peter, who is still owed $27,000 in entitlements, wage entitlements from the closure of QNI.

Clive Palmer left Townsville in a desperate state with over 800 people losing their jobs. Some of them still do not have jobs of an equivalent stature and some of them, like Peter, are waiting for the rest of their entitlements to be paid. So if Clive had $200m* laying around, it would have been a far better spend for him to pay the workers of Townsville their entitlements and the debts that he has in our community.

So I guess you could say the reviews aren’t great.

Chris Bowen also had a little bit to say about Andrew Hastie’s actions on RN:

I think we need to know more about how this information came to Mr Hastie, if it was from a foreign intelligence agency or the intelligence community – that is an issue that we should know about and the implications of that.

On foreign interference, we have been very clear we banned foreign donations to ourselves. The government is still accepting foreign donations. They have got a hash of a bill on foreign donations in the parliament. I think that what Mr Hastie raises is very serious. I do think there are very legitimate issues to traverse as to how this has happened under parliamentary privilege. He is entitled as a member of parliament to do that, but he does also play a role in a very important parliamentary committee.

I think we need to have more information about whether this was sanctioned by the government, how this information came to Mr Hastie, whether other agencies were informed that he was going to do this. I think that these are all legitimate questions which no doubt over the course of the next 24 hours will be traversed.

Earlier this morning the shadow treasurer, Chris Bowen, spoke on Radio National about One Nation’s latest reversal of position on the company tax cuts.

Bowen was keen to lock the Coalition into its commitment so far to take the big business component blocked in the Senate to the next federal election.

He noted Malcolm Turnbull told parliament he intends to take them to the election and questioned “of course if he drops these cuts what does Malcolm Turnbull stand for?”

Bowen said:

Now we have been very clear against them, we think that they are not the right priority for Australia at this moment, but Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison have said that they regard them as important for their agenda, so if they are true to their word, you would think that they would take them to the next election.

But he also noted the Senate is a “mysterious beast”, so he didn’t want to get ahead of himself in claiming victory.

Bowen was quizzed about whether the tax cuts being blocked would imperil Labor’s personal income tax cut package, and insisted that the company tax cuts remain government policy (and so Labor is still free to spend money set aside for them in the budget’s 10-year plan).

Bowen also slammed the government for entering a deal with Pauline Hanson that has now fallen apart, and said Morrison had “very serious questions to answer” about what the Coalition had agreed to, and whether money was set aside in the budget.

The Greens are calling on the government to get a wriggle on when it comes to banning foreign donations – and to boost the legislation to put caps on the amount that can be donated.

“Elections should be a contest of ideas, not bank transfers,” Lee Rhiannon said in a statement.

“In June 2017 the Senate passed a Greens motion calling for caps on domestic donations and election expenditure. If the government is serious about cleaning up politics, they would heed this call and withdraw the electoral legislation amendment (electoral funding and disclosure reform) bill and replace it with a bill that both bans foreign donations and places strict caps on all domestic donations.

“Further reforms should include caps on election expenditure, lowering the disclosure threshold to $1,000 and publishing donations in close to real time.”

AFP chief working on where to make cuts

You may remember that it was revealed in the last round of estimates hearings (which were in February, oh how quickly time flies when you are trapped in a Stockholm-like syndrome) we learned that the Australian federal police was having its budget cut – in that it’s getting more money, but less than it had planned for.

Andrew Colvin, the head of the AFP, told the legal affairs estimates hearing he is working on where the cuts should be made, after already running just over $27m over budget this year.

That’s largely down to the “dangerous times” Malcolm Turnbull said we are living in – more staff and resources than anticipated have been needed to adequately handle the national security risk.

So, how will he handle the cut?

“There are options we will need to think about in terms of work that we will not be able to do,” he said.

“I have a number of levers at my disposal to pull in terms of recruitment, for instance, around my unit costs, around my operational output.”

Mathias Cormann is back in finance estimates (where they are talking all things submarines), but it looks like he managed to escape the building for at least a moment earlier today.

And in case you missed it, he and Penny Wong tweeted that all was fine in their professional relationship late yesterday, after Cormann had said Wong was “channelling” Pauline Hanson and Wong had a very personal response, given what Hanson had previously said about Asians “swamping Australia” and what that had meant for her family.

Bob Carr had a chat to Sky News about the Australian-China relationship.

The former foreign minister is now the head of the UTS’s Australia-China Research Institute.

He said the government, from early last year, had shifted its rhetoric in regards to China, which had been picked up by Beijing.

“And eventually, this has got to be dealt with, in the spirit of frankness between the two sides,” he said.

“I think it can be and I hope the talks which took place in Argentina are the start of it.”

The prime minister was also asked what he thought about Andrew Hastie’s use of parliamentary privilege. Here’s what he had to say:

Members have to explain why they do that in circumstances like this. As far as the specific allegations that were made, they are not new. They are in fact the subject of litigation currently in the Australian courts, and for that reason I don’t propose to say any more about them.

Asked if he was “disappointed” over Hastie’s speech, Turnbull said:

Look, I am not going to comment on a member of parliament using their right, as I said – it is a right that is hard won and it is a fundamental part of our parliamentary democracy. He made that speech. He explained why he made it. Again, as I said earlier, the allegations are not new. In fact, they are very – they have been made elsewhere and they are the subject of legal proceedings and so I will not have any further to say on them.

Julie Bishop met with her Chinese counterpart at the G20 foreign ministers meeting, which she described as “very warm and candid and constructive”

Wang Yi’s translated Chinese statement was less rosy. He said the relationship between China and Australia had “encountered some difficulties” and, from Katharine Murphy’s report, “urged Australia to adopt a more positive disposition towards Beijing”.

“If Australia sincerely hopes that the relations between the two countries will return to the right track … they must break away from traditional thinking, take off their coloured glasses, and look at China’s development from a positive angle,” Wang said.

Speaking this morning, Malcolm Turnbull said the Chinese foreign ministry was “entitled to make such statements as it wishes, but we have a strong relationship”.

It’s a frank one. Julie had a good meeting with her counterpart in Buenos Aires. We have trade growing, we have a good, frank relationship with China. It’s a very strong one, and I just want to say that, to remember, that we talked about economics, and we talk about diplomacy a lot. Naturally, we are in Canberra.

But just remember this. You could not imagine modern Australia without the 1.2 million Australians of Chinese heritage. Remember that. We are the most successful multicultural nation in the world, and China and Australia are in every respect closer than ever, and we should never underestimate the importance of that family connection. So there’s 1.2 million Australians of Chinese heritage, and two of them are grandchildren of Lucy and me.

Katy Gallagher's replacement named

The high court has officially given the go ahead to David Smith to replace Katy Gallagher in the Senate.

Guardian Australia reported this morning that Christian Porter has told Labor there is no “persuasive evidence” of the need for a federal independent commission against corruption.

A lot of commenters have noted this is similar to the defence the Coalition ran to avoid calling a banking royal commission until they were forced by a Nationals revolt.

Senator Derryn Hinch is one to notice the eery parallels:

Malcolm Turnbull was out early in Fyshwick this morning, talking trade after the Council of the European Union agreed to open negotiations for an Australia-EU trade agreement.

There is scepticism this will ever happen. Turnbull pointed to the Trans Pacific-Partnership as success snatched from the jaws of defeat.

Never forget it was Bill Shorten who said I was deluded impressing on with the Trans-Pacific Partnership and I should give it up. He said it was dead. Well, 11 nations have agreed. A huge achievement, multilateral agreement in these times when protectionism has some support in some parts of the world. We are able to agree that. That’s what determination, persistence, constantly standing up for Australian workers delivers more opportunities ... [and] more jobs.

The government introduced its income tax plan into the House yesterday, where, because of the numbers game, it should have no problem sailing through.

The shadow assistant treasurer, Andrew Leigh, picked up research from the Australia Institute that found there would be a gender imbalance from the government’s planned tax, with men getting more of the benefit.

“Roughly two-thirds of the benefit of the government’s proposed income tax cuts flow to men, since men dominate the ranks of high-income earners. For every dollar in tax cuts that goes to women, men get two dollars,” he said.

He also linked it to what we are seeing in the US.

What we see now in this tax plan is something very similar to what we saw from the 2014 budget, from the early Bush tax cuts, from the most recent Trump tax cuts. It is a set of tax cuts whose early effect is to benefit middle Australia but whose later effect is considerably more regressive.

I hear those opposite saying ‘nonsense’. You can change whatever laws you like, but the laws of mathematics are immutable. It is those laws that the coalition would desperately like to change, because they don’t want Australians to know how regressive their long-term tax plan is.

The government insists its package is fair and necessary to ensure future economic growth. But while it has support for the first two rounds of plans – a $530 tax offset for low- and medium-income earners, and raising the middle tax bracket to $90,000 – the third tranche – a flat tax for earners between $41,00 and $200,000 – is struggling to find support.

Good morning and welcome to day 25

Well. That was quite the night.

Shortly after I closed the blog last night, Liberal MP and head of the parliamentary intelligence committee, Andrew Hastie, walked into the Federation Chamber and used parliamentary privilege to name an Australian-Chinese billionaire and one of the nation’s biggest political donors, as the co-conspirator in a US bribery case involving a UN diplomat.

The allegations had been in the public domain previously - both Fairfax and the ABC had reported Chau Chak Wing, who has given more than $4m in donations to Australia’s major political parties, was suspected of being “co-conspirator 3 or CC3” involved in the case. Chau has taken legal action against both.

Hastie, who said he confirmed Chau’s identity while leading a delegation to the US in his role as the intelligence chair, said he believed it was his “duty” to name Chau, to ensure Australia’s democracy and free media could operate free of interference.

His revelation came as the Turnbull government was attempting to repair its relationship with China, which has been bumpy ever since the Sam Dastyari affair, when the government began targeting foreign interference.

This morning, Malcolm Turnbull admitted the first he knew of Hastie’s plans was after he had delivered his speech:

The first I learned of Mr Hastie’s remarks is when I had heard them ... I had no forewarning of it.”

But Turnbull also said the allegations were “nothing new”.

So watch this space.

Trade is also on the agenda – Australia is chasing a free trade agreement with the EU.

And domestically, the government is still trying to salvage its tax plan. Pauline Hanson is enjoying her time in the sun, after announcing she would no longer support the legislation, which already didn’t have enough numbers to pass, even when One Nation was on board.

Labor is going to continue to push the government on what was in the “deal” the government made with One Nation back when Hanson was on board with the company tax cuts.

And, as expected, Trevor Ruthenberg, a former Newman government state MP, has been selected to run as the LNP candidate in Longman. Expect a date for all those byelections soon.

So a lot to unpack today. Mike Bowers has been out and about early. You can follow him at @mpbowers and you’ll also see him making appearances as part of the story on @pyjamapolitics

So grab your morning pick me up and strap in. It is going to be a long day.
