Politics Live: Spotlight back on company tax after government's income tax victory

That's enough live blogging for today. 

Attention was back on company tax cuts, with things getting personal for Malcolm Turnbull.

We'll be back in the morning for more of that action and, I'm sure, other things as well. 

Until then, you can find me on Facebook here and Twitter here. Photos today were from Alex Ellinghausen – find him on Twitter here.

And, as always, I welcome your feedback and hot tips at [e-mail].

Question from Victorian Liberal Jason Wood to Small Business Minister Craig Laundy. 

Wood asks about government policies to benefit small businesses. 

Laundy rattles of runs through some positive economic figures, attributing them to the government's efforts. He says this progress would be at risk under Labor. 

And that's the end of Question Time.

Question from Bill Shorten to Malcolm Turnbull. 

Shorten says gross debt has breached $500 million and asks if this is a risk to the economy. He asks if it is "the worst possible time" to lock in long-term company tax cuts that fuel debt. 

Turnbull observes the Coalition inherited a "shocking debt situation" from Labor that has "taken years to turn around". He says net debt is peaking this year. 

Question from Queensland Liberal Ross Vasta to Health Minister Greg Hunt. 

Vasta asks about a strong economy enabling investment in healthcare. 

Hunt says there is record funding in Medicare, hospitals, mental health and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. 

He says Labor cannot be trusted to fund health and manage the economy.

Question from shadow treasurer Chris Bowen to Scott Morrison.

Bowen asks about financial vulnerabilities in Australia. He questions if the government should be "locking in" long-term tax cuts. 

Morrison says a stronger economy is helping the government pay down public debt. 

He accuses Labor of wanting to take "an enormous chunk of tax and just throw it on top of the Australian economy". 

Question from Queensland Nationals MP Ken O'Dowd to Josh Frydenberg. 

O'Dowd asks about strong economic management ensuring an affordable and reliable energy system. 

Frydenberg notes what people stand to gain under income tax cuts and says the government's energy policies are driving down power bills. 

Question from Labor frontbencher Amanda Rishworth to Josh Frydenberg. 

Rishworth asks about the government's changes to childcare payments. 

Frydenberg says childcare fees went up under Labor. He says the government's policy will leave nearly 1 million families better off. 

Question from NSW Nationals MP Luke Hartsuyker to Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton. 

Hartsuyker asks about "strong and consistent" border protection policies. 

Dutton pivots to Labor's previous troubles over immigration and its history of leadership challenges.

"It's all about to be replayed, Mr Speaker. It is game on again within Labor," he says.

Question from Bill Shorten to Malcolm Turnbull. 

Shorten says the Commonwealth Bank has just paid out $700 million in penalties for breaches of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws. He asks why the PM is rewarding them with a company tax cut.

Turnbull says the case for tax cuts is about helping workers and making companies more competitive. 

He says Labor is denying that "economic reality" and trying to divide people based on the politics of envy.
