Greg Brown 3.10pm: Shorten goes on bullying

Bill Shorten asks Scott Morrison if he has taken personal responsibility for investigating bullying claims against female MPs.

The Prime Minister says he has a “keen interest in the welfare of every member of my team”.

“My team is coming together but more importantly, we are bringing Australia together,” he says.

Greg Brown 2.53pm: Quaedvlieg ‘groomed’ young woman

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has used question time to accuse former Australian Border Force boss Roman Quaedvlieg of “grooming” a woman 30 years his junior.

Dutton hits back at questioning from Labor over allegations he pressured Quaedvlieg to hire his friends.

Dutton says the “discredited and disgraced” Quaedvlieg was now an “adviser” to Bill Shorten.

“This smear is coming from the former Australian Border Force commissioner, a man who was as commissioner sacked from his position, a man who had groomed girl 30 years younger than himself,” Dutton says.

Greg Brown 2.48pm: Murdered Perth family acknowledged

Women’s Minister Kelly O’Dwyer fights off tears as she pays her condolences to a family that was murdered in Perth.

“I extend by sympathies to all of those who have been touched by this awful and tragic event,” she says.

Greg Brown 2.45pm: ‘I intervene all the time’

Opposition immigration spokesman Shayne Neumann notes Peter Dutton intervened on the au pair case of a former Queensland policeman in a “matter of hours”

“How many of the thousands of emails sent to the minister’s public email address are resolved by the minister in just a matter of hours?”

Dutton says he intervenes in cases all the time.

“I won’t name the Labor member but there was a case dealt with recently where a lady was wanting to travel in relation to funeral arrangement and I acted very quickly in relation to that matter,” he says.

Greg Brown 2.39pm: ‘Who? Who is that?’

Opposition immigration spokesman Shayne Neumann goes on the au pair scandal.

He asks how Peter Dutton can expect the parliament to believe he did not know the employer of an Italian au pair when emails show the former Queensland policeman wrote to the Home Affairs Minister and said: “long time between calls”.

Dutton says he had not spoken to the policeman since he worked with him in 1999.

“He doesn’t have my personal mobile number, he doesn’t have my personal email address, he sent an email to my generic, publicly available email account,” Dutton says.

“My staff came to me and said, ‘I have this email’. My response was, ‘Who? Who is that?’.”

Greg Brown 2.32pm: Soldiers acknowledged on 9/11

Defence Minister Christopher Pyne and opposition defence spokesman Richard Marles both use the September 11 anniversary of the pay tribute to Australian personnel who fought in Afghanistan.

Greg Brown 2.29pm: ‘We are focused on price’

Opposition treasury spokesman Chris Bowen leaps on Josh Frydenberg’s comments on Sunday, when he said he was disappointed the government had dumped the national energy guarantee.

“Can he confirm that this would see power bills rise by $300?”

Frydenberg tries to hide his disappointment his signature policy as energy minister was “dead”.

“We are focused on price. Prices are first, second and third commitment,” Frydenberg says.

“That is our priority. Under the Labor Party, you will always pay more for your power bills.”

Greg Brown 2.20pm: PM ‘not troubled’ by conservative strike

Deputy Labor leader Tanya Plibersek says Liberal senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells warned “we will see” when asked of conservatives would strike against Scott Morrison.

“Is that what the Prime Minister meant in his answer yesterday when he claims the curtain had come down on the Muppet show?”

Morrison says he has a big job to do to demonstrate his authenticity.

“I’m not troubled because every day I have lived my values in this place,” he says.

Greg Brown 2.13pm: I stepped up: Morrison

Bill Shorten says Scott Morrison has done nothing but talk up the achievements of the Turnbull government since he became Prime Minister.

“If Malcolm Turnbull was so great as the Prime Minister claimed in question time yesterday, why is he no longer the prime minister of Australia?”

Morrison says he “stepped up”.

“What I don’t understand is coming to this chamber today and the Leader of the Opposition hasn’t come in here and asked me about the drought, electricity prices, taxes,” he says.

Greg Brown 2.09pm: QT begins on leadership

Bill Shorten opens up question time asking Scott Morrison to explain why Malcolm Turnbull was rolled as prime minister.

The Prime Minister hits back and says the Opposition Leader “knows all about rolling leaders”.

“There is a litany of victims at the hands of the Leader of the Opposition,” Morrison says.

He says he come to the leadership position without seeking it and was supporting of the former prime minister.

“My colleagues chose me to lead the party, to take charge,” he says,

Rachel Baxendale 2.00pm: Hinch to run candidate in Wentworth by-election

Derryn Hinch has announced his Justice Party will be running a candidate in the Wenworth by-election.

Senator Hinch’s Wentworth candidate is real estate agent Ben Forsyth.

The senator tweeted: “Sick of them? Vote For Us! Proud to announce the DH Justice Party will be standing a candidate in the Wentworth by-election. He is Ben Forsyth, a real estate agent. Vote 1 JP, then preference whom you like.”

The Victorian senator cited junior ministers Sussan Ley and Sarah Henderson’s backdown on live sheep exports in arguing that only the crossbench can be trusted to hold the government to account and act on principle.

He said he would not be giving preferences to any other party.

“You can vote Justice Party Number One, then vote for the Labor Party, vote for the Liberal Party, whatever you prefer, that’s your call,” he said.

He said he had travelled to regional Victoria last week and been struck by the number of Liberal Party voters who were disenchanted with the government.

“They are so pissed off,” he said.

“They just think that they are not being listened to, they are not being heard, and when the Labor Party ask, ‘Malcolm Turnbull is no longer the Prime Minister, why?’ ScoMo can’t answer it.”

Greg Brown 1.47pm: Morrison to oversee GST reform

Scott Morrison says he will personally take charge of the GST reform he designed as treasurer and guaranteed it would be finalised by the next election.

The Prime Minister said he believed “passionately” in the reform, which includes more funding for every state and a floor of 70c per dollar of tax paid per person.

“The only person that Australians can trust to deliver their fair share of the GST is me because I’m the person who fought for it, designed it, delivered it, took it through my cabinet, got my party on side, east coast, west coast, south coast, north coast, all around the country,” Mr Morrison told Perth radio station 6PR.

“I have been championing this for two years as treasurer and I have been able to deliver the solution.

“I still don’t know what Bill Shorten’s policy is, I have no idea what Labor’s policy is. Chris Bowen, Bill Shorten, they are all saying different things.

“I will personally see it through with Josh (Frydenberg) because I believe passionately in this and I think people have seen that in the West with my commitment to this.”

Mr Morrison said he would legislate the reform if needed.

“But I am not going to play games with it, I’m not going to allow Bill Shorten to play games with the legislation, if he wants to back our policy 100 per cent, no excuses, no exception, no games, well we can do that, but I am not going to have him unravel this thing through tricky politics,” he said.

Rachel Baxendale 1.15pm: We can take nothing for granted: Shorten

Bill Shorten has told his caucus Labor has only won government from opposition three times since the Second World War, cautioning his MPs against hubris following the Coalition’s leadership change to Scott Morrison.

“Despite the infighting of the other side we can take nothing for granted,” Mr Shorten told the Labor party room this morning.

The Opposition Leader made reference to an early party room debate over the trans-Pacific partnership, declaring no trade agreement would solve the industrial relations problems in Australia and outlining a series of Labor policies for workers.

Labor, if elected, will increase the cost of visas, increase training, increase monitoring of the skills shortages, Mr Shorten told his party.

For major government infrastructure contracts one in ten will have to be apprentices, and Labor will reform the labour hire sector, scrap the ABCC, reform the gender pay gap improve existing labour market testing.

Mr Shorten concluded his speech to caucus with a pledge of unity.

“Our unity, stability and our focus on policy is the reason they got rid of Abbott. Our unity, stability and our focus on policy is the reason they got rid of Turnbull, and our unity, stability and our focus on policy is our greatest strength against Scott Morrison,” he said.

The meeting concluded with deputy Labor leader presenting a framed caricature to retiring Labor veteran Jenny Macklin, who received a standing ovation from her colleagues.

Greg Brown 1.07pm: Morrison denies bullying claims

Scott Morrison says he does not believe there is bullying in the Liberal Party, despite hearing complaints from Liberal women Lucy Gichuhi and Julia Banks about their treatment from colleagues.

The Prime Minister said politics was a “pretty brutal business” as he gave his strongest defence yet of the culture within the party following the fallout from last month’s spill.

“I don’t believe (there is bullying in the Liberal Party) when it comes to what I think people would ordinarily understand that to be,” Mr Morrison told Perth radio station 6PR.

“Politics can be a pretty brutal business, I sadly and regrettably have been through nine of these types of things over my 11 years in parliament. It has been I think a very torrid time in Australian politics in both sides over the last decade and I think there are a lot of things that have happened that people right across the parliament would deeply regret.

“But it is tough and the important thing is you have got to get around and support your colleagues when they are under pressure.”

Greg Brown 12.30pm: O’Regan punters’ choice in Wentworth

Woollahra City Councillor Katherine O’Regan is winning the backing of punters to be the Liberal Party’s candidate for the Wentworth by-election.

Sportsbet is paying $1.60 for Ms O’Regan to win preselection, down from $1.90 before Mr Bragg pulled out of the contest.

Dave Sharma’s odds firmed from $5.50 to $2.85.

Rosie Lewis 12.10pm: Call for more time in Dutton inquiry

The Labor-led committee looking into Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton’s interventions in two foreign au pair visa cases will today ask the Senate to give it more time to report on the inquiry.

If the majority of senators agree to extend the inquiry until September 19, the committee will likely invite sacked Australian Border Force commissioner Roman Quaedvlieg to give evidence at a hearing, which he has already done twice in writing.

Greens MP Adam Bandt is also preparing to put a no-confidence motion against Mr Dutton to the House of Representatives but is waiting until an “advantageous” time.

He does not have the numbers for the no confidence motion to succeed but is hoping several Liberal MPs might abstain from the vote.

The Coalition has lost its one-seat majority in the House of Representatives after Malcolm Turnbull resigned from federal parliament and Nationals MP Kevin Hogan moved to the crossbench in protest of the Liberal Party leadership change.

Adrian McMurray 12.00pm: More to Bragg decision than meets the eye: Kenny

The Australian’s Chris Kenny has hinted there could be other reasons behind Andrew Bragg’s decision to withdraw from the Wentworth preselection race.

Mr Bragg pulled the pin on his tilt at the Liberal Party nomination for the seat vacated by former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, citing a need to promote a female to the position.

Speaking on Sky News’ Credlin, Kenny described the reasoning as “virtue-signalling of the highest order”, and said “there’s a lot more to this story than meets the eye”.

“I know most of the candidates running in this Wentworth preselection, I know Andrew Bragg reasonably well,” Kenny said.

“I bumped into Michael Photios at a kid’s birthday party a week or so ago, and I left that conversation with the impression that Andrew Bragg was an absolute shoo-in for this preselection.

“There could be any number of reasons that Andrew Bragg is pulling out of this preselection contest. He’s hinted himself the rumours that are flying around that he rejects, there might even be considerations about whether he can win the by-election if he gets the preselection.

“If it’s exposed that he’s withdrawing for any other reason, it won’t just backfire badly on him but will do the party a lot of damage.”

Ewin Hannan 11.47am: ‘Back bill to curb unions’

The Australian Industry Group has joined resource employers in urging Senate crossbenchers to back the Ensuring Integrity Bill, claiming its passage would give the construction union a “strong incentive to stop its law-breaking”.

In a letter to Senate crossbenchers today, AI Group chief executive Innes Willox asked them to vote for the bill, which lowers the threshold for deregistering unions and permits courts to disqualify union officials if they commit two civil law breaches.

Mr Willox said giving more power to the Federal Court to cancel an organisation’s registration would give the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union “a strong incentive to stop its law-breaking and abandon its approach of treating fines as just another cost of doing business”.

Ben Packham 11.40am: TPP trade deal to be ratified

Australia will ratify the Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement after the Labor caucus today agreed to back the deal.

The motion to approve ratification of the trade deal passed on the voices, after a number of Left-faction MPs argued against the move, including Doug Cameron, Pat Conroy, Glenn Sterle and Ged Kearney.

Jason Clare, Chris Bowen, Richard Marles, Penny Wong and Andrew Leigh spoke in favour of the trade pact.

Greg Brown 11.33am: Nationalise super sector: Williams

Nationals senator John ‘Wacka’ Williams has questioned whether the nation’s superannuation sector should be nationalised.

Senator Williams has broken ranks with the Coalition and declared he would nationalise the sector if he ran the nation for one day.

“The royal commission has brought out a lot and probably surprised all Australians including me I can say,” Senator Williams told Sky News.

“I question whether we should nationalise superannuation, if I ran the country for one day I would say, ‘OK Peter Costello here is all the super, the whole lot of it, you manage it at 20 basis points, return all the money to the retirement funds of the working Australians’.

“I think it is a case of too many snouts in the trough and we have seen that through the royal commission.”

Greg Brown 11.14am: Senator meets with PM on bullying

Liberal senator Lucy Gichuhi says she has raised concerns about bullying in the Liberal Party with Scott Morrison.

She said the Prime Minister has taken the issue seriously.

“Regarding bullying in my political career: yesterday I had a discussion with Prime Minister Scott Morrison. The Prime Minister has taken up the issue,” Senator Gichuhi tweeted.

“We must live and work in a way that respects and enhances all freedoms of all Australians. Australia says no to bullying and intimidation.”

Senator Gichuhi’s tweet indicates she will not name colleagues under parliamentary privilege who she claims bullied her during the leadership turmoil, as she threatened to do last week.

Greg Brown 10.20am: 9/11 tribute

Scott Morrison has paid tribute to the victims of the September 11 terror attack in 2001.

Greg Brown 10.17am: Inside Morrison’s first party room meeting

Scott Morrison has declared the government has a “big mountain to climb” to win the next election in his first address to the joint Coalition party room meeting as Prime Minister.

Mr Morrison urged his colleagues to move on from the past month and unite to defeat Bill Shorten at the next election.

“Bill Shorten thinks he’s already there and the Australian people are coming quickly to the realisation of what a Shorten government would look like, and they recoil,” Mr Morrison said.

“The events of the past few weeks have been very difficult for us all, that’s done.

“We have a mountain to climb together. All of us standing together.”

Greg Brown 10.05am: ScoMo conservative enough: Pasin

Liberal MP Tony Pasin says Scott Morrison is “absolutely” conservative enough to lead the Liberal Party.

Mr Pasin, who was a key backer of Peter Dutton, said the party would unite behind the new Prime Minister.

“He is an individual who is listening, I think we have seen that since his election a fortnight ago,” Mr Pasin told Sky News.

“He is listening to colleagues, he is listening to the Australian people and that is what we need.”

Mr Pasin denied he bullied anyone to support Mr Dutton or sign a petition.

“I regard my actions throughout that course as both respectful and professional, I have had female colleagues who I spoke to through that process approach me and indicate that’s how they have assessed my behaviour during that time,” he said.

He rejected the need for quotas, arguing women should be selected on merit.

Greg Brown 9.35am: ‘No answer on Turnbull spill’

Deputy Labor leader Tanya Plibersek says Scott Morrison is unable to answer why Malcolm Turnbull was rolled as prime minister.

“Yesterday, we asked Scott Morrison again and again, why are you Prime Minister? And Mr Morrison couldn’t answer that question. In the two weeks since Malcolm Turnbull was rolled, no one’s been able to answer the question,” Ms Plibersek.

“And day after day there is leak after leak, you see the payback for the deposition of the prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, where his supporters, Peter Dutton’s supporters, Tony Abbott’s supporters, Scott Morrison’s supporters, are all leaking against each other, trying to rewrite history.

“In this environment, it is impossible for Scott Morrison to do what he says he has set out to do, which is make the economy stronger, keep Australians safe and keep Australians together.”

Greg Brown 9.25am: Quaedvlieg ‘bitter, disenchanted’

Peter Dutton has denied any wrongdoing after claims he lobbied then Customs chief Roman Quaedvlieg to help two Queensland policemen to get a job.

“Any suggestion that the Minister has acted inappropriately is ridiculous. Mr Quaedvlieg is a disenchanted individual who is bitter about his termination from the role of ABF Commissioner,” a spokeswoman for Mr Dutton said.

Mr Quaedvlieg told Fairfax Media he was asked to employ Queensland policemen Matt Stock — which the paper says is a “good friend” of Mr Dutton — and John Lewis.

Opposition immigration spokesman Shayne Neumann has kept the pressure on Mr Dutton after the new allegations.

“It would seem that Peter Dutton gives au pairs to rich donors and government jobs to his mates,” Mr Neumann said.

“How many government backbench MPs have helped Peter Dutton to provide jobs for his mates in his office and in Border Force? If Scott Morrison had a shred of leadership in relation to this matter, he must ask Peter Dutton to explain the situation.”

Greg Brown 9.00am: Turnbull son ‘helping Labor’

Labor’s Wentworth candidate Tim Murray says Malcolm Turnbull’s son is helping with the campaign’s funding war chest to help the party win the affluent Sydney seat for the first time.

Mr Murray said Alex Turnbull’s backing of Labor’s campaign was part of a “groundswell of support” because of anger about the way the former prime minister was deposed.

“The money has been flowing in, it has been flowing in from a lot of people, just ordinary people, that have endorsed us online and I am very heartened from the groundswell of support that our campaign has got from people like Alex but also ordinary Australians in the electorate and around the country,” Mr Murray told ABC radio.

But he played down the prospects of knocking off the Liberal candidate in the by-election.

“I think it is a very uphill battle to do that, it is a solid Liberal seat, it has been since federation and so we have to be realistic about our chances there. It is more contestable perhaps than not has ever been but we had 18 per cent primary vote at the last election and to go from 18 to get to 50 that is a huge ask,” he said.

Greg Brown 8.10am: ‘I’m a merit person’

Scott Morrison says it is the responsibility of Liberal Party members to select more female candidates as he rejected calls for quotas.

The Prime Minister said it would be up to the members of Wentworth to select the candidate, after Andrew Bragg pulled out of the race and called for a woman to be the Liberal Party’s pick.

“I’m a merit person and the party members will decide our candidate in Wentworth,” Mr Morrison told 2GB radio.

“It is their choice, just like it has to be in every single seat in the country.”

Mr Morrison said he wanted to see more women in parliament but denied there was a need for intervention from party authorities.

“Of course I wan to see more women in the federal Parliament,” he said.

“We have not done as well in that area as I would like us to do but the party members are the ones who have to take on that responsibility and they are the ones that have to take on these decisions.”

Elias Visontay 8.00am: ‘No need for female quotas’

Simon Birmingham has criticised the idea of quotas for female representation in the Liberal Party after fellow party member Craig Laundy’s support for quotas in the short term.

“No, I don’t think we need quotas but we are determined to increase the numbers, with our targets,’ he said.

The discussion comes as Andrew Bragg, a candidate for Liberal preselection in the Wentworth by-election, withdrew yesterday because he believed the party “should preselect a woman” and that stepping aside could “pave the way.”

On the Wentworth by-election, Mr Birmingham said: “ I hope we’ll see a Liberal woman preselected in Wentworth as well.”

Greg Brown 7.50am: ‘No need to leave Paris’

Scott Morrison says there is no need to leave the Paris Agreement as Australia will meet its 26 per cent emissions reduction target with no impact on electricity prices.

The Prime Minister said the target would be met “in a canter” because of improved technologies and it would not lead to higher power bills.

“We will just meet it because of technology and business as usual, so I am not going to get distracted by those sort of litmus tests,” Mr Morrison told 2GB radio.

“We meet it in a canter, it will have no impact on electricity prices, but I tell you what will: Labor will legislate a 45 per cent emissions reduction target that will push people’s power prices up by $1400 a year. The policy that we are working on will see prices fall by around $400 a year and that is just on the price guarantee.”

Mr Morrison said Australia would alienate Pacific Island nations if it left the international climate change pact.

“I’m going to make decisions in the national interest, I have to consider not just the issues here,” he said.

“In the Pacific this is an issue that is incredibly important and in the Pacific this issue dominates their thinking and agenda.

“Now the Pacific is one of the most strategic areas of influence in our world today.

“26 per cent we will meet in a canter, it wont have any impact on electricity prices.”

What’s making news:

Scott Morrison faces losing his parliamentary majority unless the Liberals choose a female candidate for the Wentworth by-election, according to private polling showing the government’s primary vote has crashed to 39 per cent in the blue-ribbon seat vacated by Malcolm Turnbull.

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has stared down attacks from Labor and the Greens over the au pair controversy, as he dismissed new evidence from sacked Australian Border Force commissioner Roman Quaedvlieg regarding another alleged visa case.

Former minister and close Malcolm Turnbull confidant Craig Laundy is the first male Liberal member of parliament to come out in support of gender quotas to address the party’s low number of female representatives.

The Nationals are threatening to run against the Liberal Party in the NSW Senate race at the next federal election amid concerns they will lose an upper house seat, exposing growing turmoil within the Coalition.

The passage of legislation to expand the cashless welfare trials to Queensland is close to being secured after the Coalition agreed to support amendments and a new independent inquiry that will clinch the vote of key independent senator Tim Storer.

Scott Morrison’s oratory has been derided as “evangelical” but the Prime Minister’s appeal among born-again Christians could turn the tide in key seats at the next election.

The first senator to return to Canberra after being disqualified because of the dual citizenship crisis says she believes there may still be dual citizens in parliament.

Senior Liberal MPs have highlighted Scott Morrison’s eclipse of Bill Shorten as preferred prime minister in yesterday’s Newspoll, downplaying a 42 per cent Labor primary vote which would see the government lose up to 30 seats.

James Jeffrey’s sketch: ghosts of PMs past not so spooky these days.
