That's all we have time for today. Thank you for joining us!

We'll be back tomorrow morning for another day of federal politics fun.

In the meantime, you can look back on today's developments below, or download the ABC News app and subscribe to our range of news alerts for the latest updates.

Shadow Communications Minister Melissa McIntosh is up on Afternoon Briefing, and says she is waiting for a briefing on the impending social media ban for children.

McIntosh says she is waiting for a meeting with the eSafety Commissioner to discuss her concerns related to rolling out the ban.

She has questioned whether the ban will come into force before Christmas and school holidays. 

"We would love to meet with the eSafety Commissioner because every parent that I speak to about this subject they are concerned about their kids, and this is about the kids, but they are uncertain," she says.

And that's where we'll leave Afternoon Briefing for today.

Indigenous Affairs Minister Malarndirri McCarthy has joined Afternoon Briefing.

She's been asked why Labor didn't introduce a disciplinary motion against One Nation senators for turning their backs during a Welcome to Country in parliament.

Yesterday, the government introduced a disciplinary motion into the Senate against Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi for protesting during the opening of parliament.

McCarthy says she has called on the One Nation senators to remember they represent millions of Australians, including First Nations Australians. 

"It is rude and disrespectful and it is not how the Senate works," she says.

Small Business and Multicultural Affairs Minister Anne Aly says Australia is not "averse" to taking further action against Israel over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. 

The Labor minister has been presented with a petition from Doctors without Borders to protect citizens of Gaza. 

She says the government has recently, with alike nations, condemned Israel and has called on Israel to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza.

But she says the government has signalled it is willing to take further action.

"We are not averse to sanctioning Israel ... we are not averse to doing more," she says.

"Sanctions are part of the suite of tools that we have. They are most effective when they are not done unilaterally, when they're in concert with other countries," she says.

Labor MP Julian Hill has jumped in to ask a question of Liberal senator Anne Ruston about what she thinks of infighting within the Nationals over net zero.

She says the Coalition is undertaking a review of its election policies.

Ruston says she loves the fact that her party (the Liberals, that is) allows for "robust debate" on this policy.

She says she believes Australia should play a role in reducing carbon emissions while ensuring the country has a reliable energy grid. 

"I want to hear the views of my party colleagues to understand. I think there are two parts of this, one is playing our part in global emissions, and playing our international role in that, but at the same time we need to have a reliable energy grid that allows people reliable power," she says.

Julian Hill has been asked about the decision to allow US beef into Australia following a review of biosecurity rules. 

He says people should have full confidence in the agricultural department's processes.

He says the review into whether US beef should be allowed in Australia started under the last Coalition government in 2015.

"I want to be very clear, there is no trade-off with biosecurity, the prime minister has been clear on that, the market access review for the United States commenced in 2015," Hill says. 

Anne Ruston says it is incumbent on the government to provide transparency as to how it arrived at the decision to allow US beef into Australia.

She says there needs to be a review as to how the department arrived at the decision.

"We need to have that confidence, and that confidence comes from independence in terms of that analysis," she says.

Labor MP Julian Hill and Liberal senator Anne Ruston have joined the Afternoon Briefing's political panel.

Patricia Karvelas has started by asking Hill about a homophobic campaign directed at him during the election campaign.

Hill has accused the local branch of the Liberal Party in his part of Melbourne of orchestrating the campaign. 

"My heart went out to all the young people grappling with their own identity that had to see that toxic rubbish in 2025," he says.

Ruston says she was unaware of the campaign run against him, but says disrespectful campaigns should be called out.

She says political parties across the political spectrum have taken part in "horrible behaviours" on campaigns. 

"The Labor Party is not exactly what you call snow white when it comes to some of the campaign tactics that were used against the Liberal Party," she says.

Larissa Waters has told Afternoon Briefing that she knew in advance of Mehreen Faruqi's protest at the opening of parliament. 

"I knew she was going to hold up a piece of paper and she did so quietly, respectfully, and bringing everyone's attention to the fact that … children and women and people in Gaza literally are starving to death," Waters says.

Asked if she told Faruqi that it was not the right place to conduct the protest, Waters didn't answer the question and said people were disturbed by the images coming out of Gaza. 

Greens leader Larissa Waters says her party is concerned about the biosecurity implications of US beef being allowed into Australia.

Waters says the dropping of trade restrictions on US beef is very convenient timing in the context of trade tariff negotiations with the US.

"It is very convenient timing that we have caved in on this right when we are trying to avoid a different kind of beef with Donald Trump," he says. 

Kevin Hogan says he admires Barnaby Joyce and Michael McCormack's passion about repealing Australia's net zero commitments.

Joyce will introduce a private member's bill to repeal Australia's commitments to net zero.

The Nationals deputy leader says the party room needs to have a discussion about where to go with net zero because there are concerns about what the policy would mean for regional Australia. 

"So there is the cost of this, and there is a whole wind turbine-solar panel thing rolling out, dividing communities, agricultural land, destruction to the environment with new poles and transmission lines, which seem to get planning approvals," Hogan says.

Asked if it is conceivable that the Liberals and Nationals could have different views on net zero and remain in Coalition, Hogan says he thinks they can. 

"That is the beauty of democracy, PK, and debating that in an healthy environment," he says.
