Farrell and Albanese were long-time factional opponents. But under Albanese’s government, Farrell is prospering. With the thaw in China-Australia relations, it’s a very good time to be trade minister.

In this podcast Michelle and politics + society editor Amanda Dunn discuss the wild final sitting fortnight before the winter break
The Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters, in its interim report tabled on Monday, recommends donation and spending caps apply to third parties and associated entities.
The government at the weekend announced an immediate $2 billion for social housing – which will go to states and territories over this fortnight – hoping this would get the Greens to support the fund
Meanwhile, the Liberal Party continues to deal with the fall-out from last week’s accusations against Senator David Van.
Federal politics, the tone of which had seemed better than in the last parliamentary term, once again descended into a toxic mire.
Thorpe made the claim while Van was attacking Labor for politicising the Brittany Higgins allegation that she was raped in the office of then minister Linda Reynolds in 2019
Chalmers is in the driver’s seat as another Labor government copes with an economic crisis – very different from the GFC, but similar in being driven by circumstances not of the government’s making.
The emphasis on the US and China in our foreign policy in recent years had diminished the significance of our relationships with middle-sized regional countries like Vietnam.
As they fight for the affections of the same voters, the two parties have engaged in a particularly nasty debate over housing.
Albanese, in an address being promoted as the most important he has made internationally, warned of the dangers where there was not “the pressure valve of dialogue”.
The scandal, involving the improper use of confidential government information for financial gain, would seem an ideal probe for the NACC to cut its teeth on.

Nine years on from the Indian prime minister’s first visit to Australia, much has changed in the Indo-Pacific and in the bilateral relationship.
As debate on the historic referendum legislation, Dutton claimed the Voice would ‘re-racialise our nation’.
Albanese now has a firm promise of a state visit to the US this year, and an invitation to go to China. If he manages that double-header, it will be another coup for his foreign policy.
Like Albanese, Plibersek is pragmatic, but probably hasn’t moved quite so far to the centre as he has. If she were running things, would this Labor government have a more radical tinge?
The bar was always too hard for Dutton. This week’s budget, whatever criticisms can be made of it, has been an elusive target for the Liberals
