Hello friends. Welcome to our politics live blog. I'm Courtney Gould from the ABC's Parliament House team, here to guide you through the day. If you can believe it, there are only two more sitting weeks left in the parliamentary year. Today marks the start of a Senate-only week, before both Houses return next week. The government is hoping it can get the Coalition over the line to support its gas reservation scheme through the Senate this week. Other bills on the to-do list include: digital duty of care and changes to discretionary trusts and the private health insurance rebate. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is in Manila for the ASEAN leaders' summit. More on that shortly from our friend on the ground, Clare Armstrong. I hope you have all had a coffee. I'm about five minutes away from hunting one down. But until then, let's get blogging!!
