Politics Live: March 18, 2014

But before we leave, to enjoy an iced water and some yogic stretches, what did we learn today?

• BYO food to Parliament House. You can't trust the vending machines;
• Graham Perrett has a tattoo;
• Swanny's still got it; 
• Bravery still exists on Capital Hill. Ken Wyatt might cross the floor; and
• Arthur Sinodinos retains the Prime Minister's full confidence.

As we prepare to make our farewells, a note about what continues to hop at Parliament House.

The Senate is considering a communiqué on the 19th National Schools Constitutional Convention, while the House debates the Farm Household Support Bill.

In the committee wing, the Senate's Environment Committee has just begun a hearing into the government's Direction Action Plan.
