The most intriguing battle in today’s Estimates won’t involve any of the Ministers up for scrutiny. Instead, the battle to watch will be White vs Green.

There’s no doubt that Mr Green’s performance at Estimates has been a complete shambles. He’s been uninspiring and ill-prepared and has been relegated to side-show status while Greens MPs ask the real questions.

Today will be Ms White’s day to show if she’s up to the job. Is she a contender, or just a pretender?

She has done little so far to show why she deserves to be the heir-apparent. Today is the day that we will find out if Ms White has the substance and the capacity to be Labor leader.
