Hasn't passed the Senate yet.

There is an arm-wrestle over a nasty piece of refugee legislation that might see both acts not get voted on today. That means it won't be back in parliament until next year and the government is looking so shaky it might not be in power then so... who knows!

It just passed the Senate. But even if it hadn't passed, the problem was that Labor (to non-Aussies: the opposition) voted for it unanimously. Only two MPs voted against it in the House of Representatives (Andrew Wilkie [Independent] and Adam Bandt [Greens]).
