It was a farce. Sitting with the ALP, then when division was called, walked extremely slowly to the other side; separating the amendments into multiple sections and wanting a vote on each one; toilet break etc.

I was a bit confused about Labor passing the encription bill , but as it didn't get back to the HOR doesn't that mean it hasn't became LAW yet??
it could well be that labor has played the libs at their own game

It has passed into law but ALP want the amendments that they disagreed with sorted out on Feb12. They have read the population well and followed the votes. This saw them side with the Greens and assorted independents to pass the Phelps Bill. They also outplayed Morriscum by passing the encryption bill [with proviso] to allegedly keep us safe and point out that the PM is more concerned with his pride than national security.
The Phelps Bill will not close down offshore detention, unfortunately, but will see those who are in need of medical care will receive it in Australia. Despite all of the money going to Manus and Nauru very little is actually being used for the benefit of the refugees or the locals. The conditions are awful. Truly awful.
Once the Bill passes, the minister can still veto the transfer but only because of security risks. When he does object, the case must be referred to an independent health committee within 24 hours and they must make a decision within 24 hours.
Dutton doesn't want to be held accountable.

he might think he's pretty good Rebel but his electorate don't any more
what else can they privatise?? this really bothers me. I bet Morrisons friend gets the contract
Just two bidders are in the race for the contract, which is expected to require at least $1 billion in investment – one helmed by Scott Briggs, Liberal Party heavyweight and friend to Prime Minister Scott Morrison and former colleague of Immigration Minister David Coleman, and another joint bid from Australia Post and Accenture.
Mr Briggs runs Pacific Blue Capital, which holds 19 per cent of the Australian Visa Processing Consortium, along with Qantas Ventures, PwC and Ellerston Capital.

I think it was a foregone conclusion that that was going to happen. What a mess! It gives new meaning to the old saying 'be careful what you wish for.' Actually I feel a bit sorry for Theresa May she was never a supporter of Brexit anyway, she just got left holding the poisoned chalice when David Cameron resigned.

That's true. Everyone that was pushing for Brexit has jumped ship already because they knew it wasn't going to work.

so she did survive the vote.. she's the only one who's had the courage to try and deal with Brexit
An independent review commissioned by the government has spectacularly rejected claims that the ABC and SBS enjoy an unfair competitive advantage over their commercial rivals.
In a report released Wednesday, a panel led by retired economist Robert Kerr rejected every major claim against the ABC and SBS made by commercial media organisations, including News Corp and the free-to-air broadcasters.
haha take that Mitch Fifeld and Rupert Murdoch

I'm surprised she survived, but I guess when it came to the crunch nobody else wanted the job.

There is at least one news site that has been geoblocked but is viewable if one of the links on Twitter is used. Its all over social media so the horse has bolted.

Two separate cases, Deb. The first one has concluded - except for appeals and sentencing. The second one begins in March or May - I've forgotten which.
