Looking sharp, @AlboMP.
@RichardMarlesMP also looking smart tonight.
Both @tanya_plibersek and @terrimbutler show the blokes how to combine colours more creatively than just a grey or navy suit with a white shirt.

Also bringing his A-game is @BOConnorMP, although the tie knot is just a smidge asymmetric.

The grey suit trend has infiltrated the second row of the government benches but the front bench remains in thrall to The Blue Suit Cult (or the navy near-neighbour).

Fewer blue suits on the opposition benches, mostly because there are so many more women sitting on them.
Are they senators sitting at the back wall? I think I spy @Malarndirri19 on the right.

Another view of the opposition benches.
Quite a bit of Labor red among the women but still far too much blue among the men.

A first look at @David_Speers.
The watch messes with the left shirt cuff.
I'll be keeping an eye out for shoes (probably those f***ing boots) and socks. Also on the coffee plunger.

I don't think I saw this light blue tie, white shirt and grey suit effort from @Birmo, replying to the #BudgetReply.
It's classy but unadventurous.

Slight crotch whiskers from @David_Speers this morning.
The hair is overstyled, as it so often is.

Who wears it better: @JoeDoesNews or @MattDoran91?
The lapels and ties are conspicuously lacking bling, gents.

Just how quickly does your beard grow, @mf_rennie?
I like the shirt but it's a rather bland. Couldn't you liven it up with some bling?

I know it's important for people to know the rank of police officers but the hi-vis under the epaulettes is not the most attractive look.
A traditional police cap rather than a baseball cap would've been better.

Is it just my imagination or were you shivering during this cross, @JakeLapham?
An extra layer would've been a good idea.
Do you not have an ABC News rain jacket?

I had another shot of you, @mjrowland68, but chose not to use it.
I thought we'd retired this suit?
Good hair this morning.

Love the socks, @SciNate!
Still persisting with the error of blue jacket and black slacks, @Tonaaayy_? Whyyyyy?

Here's one for you, #CopyEditing and #SubEditing Twitter (esp. those of you outside Australia who don't know the context):
If the headline reads "Outgoing senator shines light on bullying" does 'outgoing' refer to the senator's personality or her impending departure from office?
Here's the story (for those interested, though it's probably paywalled):
canberratimes.com.au/story/7680391/…
A similar question arises with this headline: "‘Partisan football’: Second retiring Coalition senator lashes government".
Is Senator McMahon one who avoids the spotlight or one who is leaving the political arena?

Not the most adventurous suit/shirt/tie combo from @David_Speers tonight.
I'm not really a fan of shades of purple or maroon for the tie when you're wearing a navy or Blue Suit.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary

A better suit than usual from @Barnaby_Joyce tonight.
Not quite enough shirt cuff for my money.
Still referring to 'the Ukraine', though. 🙄
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary

Neat hair and a classy suit/shirt/tie combo from @JEChalmers tonight.
Just enough makeup to avoid shine without looking like a clown.
The tie would sit better with a tie bar. #JustSaying

Ed Husic is on fire, both rhetorically and sartorially, on #AfternoonBriefing.
I'm not sure about the blending of the hair on top with that on the sides but love the greying beard.
The tie and the 🇺🇦 lapel ribbon are excellent.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary Image
The tie is generously proportioned without straying into tablecloth territory, @GregJennett.
The suit and shirt are good and the hair is excellent.

The indefatigable @beejaymac10 looking sharp as he reports from Lismore.
Love the hair, Bruce.
As he said, five years to the day from the 2017 floods.
