Australia made it into Eurovision! Members of the Liberal and National Parties seemed to celebrate the news by competing in a series of performances which must have seemed clever when they were practising, but once it was on TV it just looked weird. Here's what happened in Parliament this week.
BEST:
1. Monday began with some powerful bipartisan resolutions. The first was for everyone affected by the Martin Place siege.

The second resolutions remembered two Labor giants from the Whitlam Government, Tom Uren and Kep Enderby.
2. The Closing the Gap report was tabled on Wednesday.
Bill refused to gloss over the Government's $500 million cut to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander services.

3. After months of chaos, dysfunction and leadership wrangling in the Government, Bill on Monday decided enough was enough.

4. A unanimous plea to the Indonesian President on behalf of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran.

5. Well this is awkward for Joe. Tick tick tick.

WORST:
1. No one ran against Tony Abbott and still two thirds of his backbench voted against him.
That’s right, two thirds thought anyone but Tony Abbott would be an improvement in the top job.
2. On Tuesday Bill asked: “If good government starts today what on earth has the Prime Minister been doing for the past 521 days?"
3. Tony Abbott's position on where to build Australia’s new submarines has been anything but clear.

4. On Thursday we found out that 100,000 people have become unemployed since the election, Australia’s unemployment rate of 6.4% is the highest at any time since 2002 when Tony Abbott was Employment Minister.
It's clear this Government has no plan for jobs.
5. No one in the Government believes their Budget is unfair and their policies are wrong, just ask Malcolm.
Finally, Bronwyn Bishop is setting new records, booting Labor MPs out a record 309 times so far this Parliament.
She might have been blocked from contesting Triple J’s Hottest 100 but Taylor has made the #5and5. No one challenged Tony Abbott, he contested a blank space and the blank space was only 12 votes short of winning.
