The rhetoric from the Liberal Party, at least over the weekend, has been, you know, we need to clean up our act.

We need to do and meet Australians where they're at.

We need strong policy.

We haven't seen that happen.

That was a key part of why they lost the election to Labor not too long ago.

It's why we saw Peter Dutton lose his seat.

It's why we've seen Susan Lee step out.

We're not seeing the Liberal Party come together here and be a meaningful part of the opposition.

Look, some MPs have expressed alarm at what happened in Farrah and are privately questioning how long Angus Taylor can lead the party if they can't improve their position in the Australian political landscape.

But he's only had the role since February when Susan Lee was ousted as leader of the Libs.

And that's obviously what triggered this weekend's by-election, which a lot of people were watching.

And the polls were right.

One nation won.

Yeah, it's almost Gwyneth Paltrow-esque in the, I wish them well.

Look, briefly, while we are on politics, the federal budget is being handed down tomorrow night with the Treasurer set to delay a one-off tax cut that'll put a bit of extra cash in our pockets.

The bonus sweetener, which was being widely reported last week, is now set to be announced tomorrow, but handed to wage earners next tax time.

So a little bit more of a wait on that one.

Two of the so-called ISIS brides who returned to Australia and spent the weekend behind bars will make a bid for freedom today.

53-year-old Kaswa Ahmed and her 31-year-old daughter Zainab Ahmed were arrested at Melbourne Airport on Thursday after spending years in a refugee detention camp in Syria and will today make a bail application in Melbourne's Magistrate Court.

The women were among four who returned from Syria last week and are among three who have since been arrested, charged and held in custody.
