Federal politics live: Plibersek welcomes ‘modest’ turnaround after support for One Nation drops in twin polls

Hi friends, welcome to our politics live blog. I’m Courtney Gould from the ABC’s Parliament House team, here to guide you through the day.

Well, we’ve reached the final sitting week before the long winter break. But before we get there are a few things to get to. First is a visit from Vanuatu’s PM Jotham Napat. He’ll receive all the pomp and ceremony before the expected signing of a long-awaited agreement between the two countries.

Elsewhere, the government wants to progress plans to toughen the social media ban for under-16s. It wants to double the penalty for tech giants’ breaches and strengthen the eSafety Commissioner’s enforcement and compliance tools.

There were also two fresh opinion polls that dropped overnight. Both suggested a drop in support for Pauline Hanson and One Nation. 

The sun is up and so are we so let’s get right into the day, shall we?
