Minister Greg Hunt also speaking to Ally Moore just now on ABC radio 774 has suggested if the removal of the two big taxes is in the budget papers then ALP will probably not block it!
Finally some pragmatic politics on Mr Hunt's part.
I said last night that I didn't think labor could maintain relevance while they are in a ménage à trois with BOTH the greens and PUP. If they contract out their policy decisions, the voters will simply chose which of those two they will vote for, bypassing labor.
I also said I doubt Clive could block anything and I still go with that. It is not in labor's interest to be giving PUP air. There is nothing like an upstart to bring out the feelings of bi-partanship between the two majors. Remember how united they were against Pauline.
