ABC NewsMail - Morning Edition

Good morning. Here's what's happening now:

  • So, we know the PM has threatened to take us to a July 2 federal election if the Senate doesn't pass the industrial relations legislation. ABC political editor Chris Uhlmann takes a look at what senators are likely to do. He says it's about one thing - survival

  • The PM has just spoken to the AM program. He's responded to comments from Tony Abbott that he'll campaign on the former PM's policies. He said: "The bottom line is, there is continuity and there is change and there are many policies that have been announced and many initiatives that have been undertaken that were either not policies or not being pursued by Mr Abbott."

  • The Safe Schools program is on the agenda again today after debate on Q&A last night. Here's some of what queer student Carter said to the panel: "I think the problem is politicians are using young, innocent, in-pain children as political bullets." He also said: "creating the idea that they are different ... is driving kids to hurt themselves." Watch his exchange with the panel

WATCH: This video is popular now. It's of a supernova in the sky and the shockwaves it produced. Astronomers say it's the first time they've seen it in such vivid detail
