Bob Katter has cautioned the Morrison government not to take his vote for granted, warning he may support referring Coalition MPs to the high court over concerns they are in breach of the constitution.
With Kerryn Phelp’s election plunging the government into official minority status, Scott Morrison no longer has the numbers to automatically vote down any opposition attempt to force one of its MPs to the high court.

Labor wont force a vote on Section 44 because there are questions over some of it's own members....We need a Federal ICAC!!!

Not as much as he used to. He now depends on Labor preferences, which is why he did that humiliating backdown on Fraser Anning - after declaring he supported him "1000 percent". He had to turn and around and dump him, basically because labor threatened to preference against him.

Dutton only survived referral to the High Court by one vote when Turnbull was still an MP.

If the same vote was taken again, Dutton would probably be referred. And once one Lib goes, others will follow because the Coalition would no longer have the numbers to protect them.

Morrison may not have any choice over the timing of the next election. If he loses control of the House, he no longer has the numbers to govern. He would have to call an election, resign his commission or face dismissal. He could also dodge the issue by proroguing Parliament with the summer break imminent.

Just on that....it turns out that the Bus does not carry Morrison who, in fact, is flying around the State. The Bus is for petty show and crap photo opportunities.
