That's it for parliament this week. Thank you to Lisa Visentin, Michael Pachi and Frank Keany for their help. And to everyone who commented and voted in the poll.

And if you thought the Conroy stuff had died down a bit, think again ...
Macolm Turnbull has been on Fairfax Radio, where he was asked about the Labor senator's comments re: Angus Campbell.
"Stephen Conroy was just crazy and rude and abusive," he told 2UE.
"Frankly, Shorten should sack him. I think there's a lot of people in the Labor Party that feel the same way."
61 per cent of people voted this way. Followed by "you're part of a cover-up" (16 per cent), "you're a coward" (14 per cent) and "you're a worse man than Angus Campbell" (9 per cent).
