In short:

The government has effectively killed a bill to introduce legislation that would charge protest groups for police fees if they held more than three demonstrations a year.

The bill was reintroduced following the weekend's pro-Palestinian march over Sydney Harbour Bridge, which drew crowds of over 100,000 people.

Two Labor MPs told the ABC there was also "heated" debate about a motion on Gaza during caucus on Tuesday.

If Mastercard could stop someone from jizzing on a coworker’s desk I bet they would! Luckily for the politicians that way inclined, they can keep glazing desktops… for now.
