“The PM should be governing; instead, he’s still acting like an Opposition in exile on the government benches,” AlboMP said.

Labor Leader Anthony Albanese says the Coalition should focus on the economy rather than political games after Prime Minister Scott Morrison boasted he likes to “set them tests when we come back to parliament”. “I’m just trying to help. I know they’re struggling to work out who they are and what they’re about, so I just thought I should ask them a few questions every time we come to parliament,” Mr Morrison continued.

The Coalition is pushing the Opposition to support the expansion of the cashless welfare card trial and mandatory sentencing for child sex offenders, while Jacqui Lambie’s suggestion to drug test politicians is gaining momentum as the Morrison Government courts the independent senator’s support to drug test welfare recipients. “He should be governing; instead, he’s still acting like an Opposition in exile on the government benches,” Mr Albanese said.
