The Abbott government will mark two years in office on Monday when parliament resumes for a fortnight of sittings.
The achievements and failures of the government since the coalition's September 2013 drubbing of Labor are likely to dominate question time.
The government is hoping to get Labor support for speedy passage of its laws to strip dual nationals of their Australian citizenship if they are suspected of terrorism.
But a bipartisan committee report, released on Friday, recommended a raft of changes that will need to be worked through before parliament can pass the bill.
On Monday, the House of Representatives will debate bills to put a 1500 gigalitre cap on voluntary water purchases in the Murray-Darling Basin and support the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, both of which are likely to get Labor backing.
The Senate will be dealing with budget measures for veterans, tax and superannuation changes and boosting the powers of immigration detention centre guards.
The Senate's economics committee will table its report on Australia's naval ship building industry.
The China-Australia free trade agreement will come under scrutiny at a treaties committee hearing, with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, pork producers and the building industry due to give evidence.
Also over the week reports will be tabled on the availability of cancer drugs in Australia, security at Australian airports and the circumstances surrounding the Man Haron Monis letter sent to Attorney-General George Brandis.
Proposed shipping laws could also prove to be an anchor around the government's neck, as business operators provide evidence to an inquiry on the risks they pose to investment on Monday.
Debate will briefly continue on a cross-party bill to allow same-sex marriage.
