Senators and M-Ps of the 45th parliament will be sworn in today ahead of what is expected to be an eventful second term of coalition government. The government will seek parliament's support to pass budget savings, which Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has described as a "fundamental moral challenge". The first day of a three-day sitting will be taken up by an indigenous welcome to country and a speech by Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove among other formalities.
