Barnaby Joyce says if the Nationals leadership was offered he 'would take it' – as it happened

Labor says Melissa Price may have misled parliament over meeting with former Kiribati leader, while Labor attacks PM over moving Israel embassy to Jerusalem

So Melissa Price lives to fight another day.

Which will be tomorrow. When she is the feature of question time.

We will be back to cover that, and everything else bright and early tomorrow morning.

It’s the last day of the joint sitting. Next week is just the House of Representatives, but we will have the results of the Wentworth byelection to play with.

Plus, the labour force figures are due, Gareth Hutchens tells me. So we’ll get to see what unemployment did in September.

A big thank you to the Guardian’s brains trust, both here and behind the scenes, cleaning up my too quick fingers and too slow brain, and of course, to you for reading and following along with us.

Rest up and as always – take care of you.
