The Guardian Australia:

ā€œWhere are the opposition planning on going with the attacks on ?

There isn’t a straight answer to that one, because no one can really figure out what the upside is here.

Gallagher made the comments that are using as the basis for the ā€˜misled parliament’ attacks while in opposition, in a different parliament.

She was not a minister at the time. So she didn’t make the comments as a minister and therefore did not breach the ministerial code.

Anthony has backed Gallagher in, so there is no movement there. And the have already denounced the tactics and said they will not facilitate it in the senate. Which means if the Coalition attempted to refer Gallagher to the privileges committee, they would not have enough support in the senate.

So there is no movement there.

Which means that this is being played out for the cameras with no real goal in sight. And at the moment, no end in sight either.ā€
