Poirot,

The updated school chaplaincy legislation that was Challenged was Juliar's.

"In 2012, when Labor's new law was being debated, then-shadow attorney-general George Brandis described Labor's legislation as a "bandaid" solution that would not "meet the tests the High Court set out" after the 2012 decision."

As for Abbott's achievements, I gave a few examples none of which you have been able to refute.

The only people that have been "embarrassed" are the greens and the labor party.

None of you radical lefties have been remotely capable of refuting any of the PM's achievements shown by Shadow Minister. Shadow minister provides the proof, and the politically correct lefties just ignore it.

Good point Shadow Minister about it being JULIAR who instigated the school chaplaincy programme. It was one of the very few decent things she did. Another one was her opposition to gay marriage.

Today it upheld the objections of Queensland father Ron Williams, who launched the case arguing there was no place in public schools for non-secular programs.

Former prime minister John Howard introduced the controversial program in the lead-up to the 2007 election. It allows Australian schools to apply for $20,000 grants towards the cost of employing a school chaplain.

Mr Williams, a Toowoomba father-of-six has self-funded two cases against the program with the help of donations from other parents.

“Public schools aren’t a place for religious missionaries, with or without government funding. The fact the federal government was funding them was adding insult to injury,’’ Mr Williams has previously told The Australian.

The rejection Wednesday for a second time of legislation to abolish the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, one of the key elements of Labor’s carbon pricing setup, will not start a stampede to the polls.

The Government was never serious about an early election and the speculation it roused was more a product of its frustration and anger than any carefully plotted strategy.

As Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has pointed out, business would not be grateful for a disruptive election so soon after the last one.

And nor would Coalition MPs be pleased as a double dissolution would put all Senate slots up for contest and possibly increase the already-large cross bench of eight.

But it’s not just the cross bench the Government has to placate. Its own MPs and Senators are questioning the $5.5 billion Paid Parental Leave scheme.

If the Treasurer threatens them with an early election, they will respond by crossing the floor or abstaining on the PPL vote.

No Government could hope to improve its election results with a background of disunity. That early election threat is now looking like the bluster it was.

Now the PM says his threat of a DD was no more than lies. How long are we going to be lies to. It seems whatever Abbott says is lies.

579,

The legislation will have the numbers in July to abolish the toxic carbon tax and Juliar's cheer squad departments.

SM What will your benefit from the abolition of the carbon tax be. What will this save the handful of the biggest polluters be.
