Right, well, there you go.

A two day cabinet meeting has wound up and ministers are beginning to leave Canberra.

The day ends as it began - with a lot of talk about the performance of Prime Minister Tony Abbott but no action. Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop are sitting tight. Ministers are rallying behind Mr Abbott and calling on nervous backbenchers to calm down.

Parliament returns for the year on Monday.

Alex Ellinghausen, Andrew Meares and I can hardly wait. Thank you for your company.
