Summary: Guest Dave - Carol Duncan This week - nobody gets what they’re expecting. Bronywn Bishop gets the boot days before Tony Burke’s obvious hypocrisy would have given her cover. Other politicians wonder if, against all the odds, they’ll actually have to come up with some real rules winding back this sort of thing. The government’s biggest funders get a disappointing Productivity Commission report with a silver lining, and the Australian Senate somehow, if only temporarily, stops the TPP. The environment gets a surprise victory, along with a laughable defeat. Journalists who’ve been blocked by Nauru from reporting on it are surprised when its President excoriates them in the Daily Telegraph for not visiting. And Andrew Bolt finds himself in a delicious but startling little fight with The Australian. Everything’s coming up Milhouse! …And then, in the ultimate surprise, unexpectedly most of the above gets abandoned when we forget about the running sheet entirely.
