Parliament is back in full swing, and it's been a blockbuster sitting week in Canberra - with plenty on the agenda for both major parties, and even more happening off it.

The Prime Minister’s message was clear - aggression and interference won’t be tolerated. But the Opposition says it all came too late.
As that continues to unfold, a curious diplomatic moment has also raised eyebrows between Defence Minister Richard Marles and his US counterpart, despite a very public photo.
Patricia Karvelas and Melissa Clarke are joined by Network Ten Political Editor Ashleigh Raper to unpack a high-stakes week in federal politics on The Party Room.
