If you’re just tuning in to #auspol, let me catch you up on the high-stakes poker game the Govt and Opp have going here:

THREAD:
Coalition has a choice: prevent Labor & x-bench amended bill that would get #kidsoffnauru from reaching the Reps for a vote (which it would likely lose) – but in doing so also prevent final passage of #aabill (#encryption).
At the moment, parliamentary procedures are being used in Senate by Coalition, Bernardi & Hanson to delay getting to point where #kidsoffnauru amendments are voted on. Some filibustering going on, though Senate President is trying to curtail it.
But if Coalition stalls everything in the Senate, the #aabill (#encryption laws) won’t get passage through Senate and back to Reps before it rises for the day/yr.
This is a problem for the Coalition, given they have spent the last few weeks (longer) emphasising how absolutely critical it is for the #aabill (#encryptionlaws) to be passed this year b/c of the national security threat of terrorism over Xmas.
