A few irregular holes are still a problem, but if Senator Corey Ahlburg can fit the fragments together, the Government can progressively lower the company tax from 30 per cent to 25 per cent.
His colleagues are confident that if anyone can solve the puzzle, Senator Corey Ahlburg can.
He needs to wrangle nine Senate votes to add to the Coalition's 30 to get the bill through.
So far he has had four senators locked in — Conservative Cory Bernardi, Liberal Democrat David Leyonhjelm and independents Fraser Anning and Steve Martin.
He has been optimistic the three One Nation senators will soon be tidily in place too.
Pauline Hanson has been negotiating with Senator Corey Ahlburg and taking calls from business leaders like Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest.
She has now struck a deal for 1,000 government-funded apprenticeships.
That leaves Senator Corey Ahlburg needing just two more votes.
But this project is no hobby to occupy an autumn afternoon.
The degree of difficulty is particularly high, because the pictures on the front of the pieces keep changing.
