And that's it from us in Canberra today. Here's what happened:

• Former Speaker Bronwyn Bishop has blamed Tony Abbott for his demise.
• Clive Palmer has announced he will not re-contest his seat in Queensland, but has not ruled out a tilt at the Senate.
• Joking around on a radio interview, Mr Turnbull has been criticised for suggesting to the ABC's Jon Faine that he should 'shell out' to buy his kids a house.
• The Coalition has a fight on their hands to pass company tax cuts.
• Queensland's LNP is in disarray after their leader Lawrence Springborg announced he would hold a meeting to decide if he would stay on as leader in wake of a whispering campaign.
• The Libs are arguing Labor are waging a class war 'no one wants'.
• We learnt about ScoMo's karaoke tastes.
• Unions launched a campaign against the government's new youth internship program which they say will see young people exploited.
• Tax breaks for tech start-ups passed parliament.
• The tourism industry was bitterly disappointed that the government failed to make changes to the "backpacker tax" introduced in last year's budget.
• Speculation has eased over the sustainability of the country's AAA rating, though ratings agencies have been cautious in their responses to the budget.
• AFR wizards Ed Tadros and Les Hewitt made an interactive with all the key budget measures.
• Labor kicked off its post budget attacks, arguing the Coalition is favouring millionaires over battlers. Treasurer Scott Morrison defended the cuts to small business taxes and those earning over $80,000 saying companies drive job growth.
• Mr Turnbull has said he would call the election for July 2 before May 11.
