I think I have clearly explained my 'talking point'.

I know that you and I don't agree on this issue, and I know that many Australians don't. So, let's agree to disagree.

No. It requires > 50% of the senate to shut down legislation.

Bigger child care subsidies is just about the last thing we need.

I'm not saying that I agree with the legislation. I wouldn't pass it if I were in Government, but that was what the Liberals have done and they should be able to answer for it.

Wouldn't it be within the realm of possibility that the Libs passed this legislation KNOWING that it would be rejected by the Senate, in order to use it for political gain? If there was no Senate 'to blame', would they have passed the legislation in the first place if they knew that doing so would cost them the election?

It's disgraceful policy. It needs to be rubbed out before it makes the starting block.

Well, I'll take that as a compliment.

If you were inferring that I am 'against the poor' and that's why I support the Libs policy, I would've made the same argument for the Labor party being in power or for any Government being in power. In fact, I don't support the Liberals.

Sure, it's a disgraceful policy, so why would you deny the fantastic opportunity for Turnbull to be disgraced for the rest of his life?
