Labor will pass its gambling bill with Coalition support, after the amended legislation was signed off by both party rooms.And while some Opposition members have crossed the floor on the bill, suggesting the tweaks didn't go far enough — PK and Claudia don't think this issue will continue to linger for Labor.Meanwhile, Opposition leader Angus Taylor has issued the Albanese Government with an ultimatum: fast track a fix to the so-called 'widow's tax' or the Coalition won't back the NDIS overhaul.PK thinks the move is all about the Opposition leader "trying to make himself more relevant" as a political player.And the Albanese government has agreed to his demands, so does this effectively put Angus Taylor back in the frame?Patricia Karvelas and Claudia Long break it all down on Politics Now.Got a burning question?Got a burning political query?
