Indonesia's president came with what he
called a gift you bring the rain you
omen not rain but trade a deal that will
see almost all Australian exports enter
Indonesia tariff free in return this
country will look to ease visitor
restrictions simplify and streamline the
issues of entry into Australia Joko
Widodo given the honour of addressing
Parliament will deem it just the second
Indonesian president to do so a friend
in need is a friend indeed one old
friend with a new vantage point there to
see the trade negotiations he started
sealed by the man who succeeded him
Malcolm Turnbull making his first visit
to Parliament since his toppling but
still facing questions on climate and
coal it's been a fault line in the
coalition for a very long time that
fault line now a chasm the key thing
from my perspective is that the
commotion be in the business of building
or or funding a new coal-fired power
station that provoked open warfare
Nationals MP George Christensen slamming
inner-city liberals for backing
renewables while his Senate colleague
renewable energy or the dole bludgers of
the energy system those people who are
advocating that the government should
fund coal-fired power are basically
making a case for higher emissions and
higher energy prices and that is nuts
the Nationals anger transcends policy
with a Barnaby Joyce ally and Michael
McCormick critic abandoning the party
room to sit so low I still remain a
loyal and faithful government member no
amount of marketing or spear can hide
their humiliation labor lepton the
defection of Lou O'Brian
to make immediate mischief teaming up
with a half dozen rebel nationals to
install him as Deputy Speaker a job that
comes with a 20% pay rise losing control
of parliament might have more serious
consequences next time
