Are the Prime Minister and his treasurer working together, or are they being played off against one other?

Midway through a sitting week, the government has managed to put itself back in the firing line with small business over the ATO’s on-again, off-again credit card ban.

That’s led to some performative text messaging, as well as a nasty moment in parliament that’s now taken on a life of its own.

If that wasn’t enough, Labor is also staring down another fight over trusts.

Patricia Karvelas and David Speers break it all down on Politics Now.
