Queensland's politicians are returning to the far-flung corners of the state after back-to-back sitting weeks where they first scrutinised a state hospitals crisis and then the federal budget.
Throughout the two weeks there was finger-pointing as well as verbal and physical slip-ups in the single house parliament.
Labor was taken to task last week by the LNP when emergency departments at some hospitals across the state's southeast ran out of beds.
The government denied its health system was in crisis, blaming the federal government, the flu and even the weather for the debacle.
But Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and her ministers returned serve this week after the Morrison government's budget revealed Queensland would get less money than Victoria and NSW.
Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington at first said little about the numbers, except that they were good.
She then said the state government wasn't working with her federal counterparts, before going on to defend funding promises that won't be realised for years.
Parliament will resume at the end of the month.
