The 47th Parliament has only sat for its first fortnight since the election but the business of government is well underway and the parliamentary program quite packed.

At the time of writing, there were 38 bills before parliament. Nineteen had been initiated in the house of representatives and were already progressing.

…marking the first major political milestone of the Labor government.
