Federal Election 2025

Labor is expected to use its thumping new majority to plough ahead with its 2030 clean energy transformation.

New Federal Greens leader Larissa Waters has vowed to ‘get s..t done’ with Labor, while also maintaining her party’s hard-line stance on ‘calling out genocide’.

Andrew Hastie has confessed he has a desire to lead the Liberal party in future, only hours after Sussan Ley won a party room vote to become Opposition Leader.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has unveiled his new-look Cabinet for his second term after the spectacular dumping of Ed Husic and Mark Dreyfus.

A tally of voting intentions circulating among Liberal MPs calculates the shadow treasurer ahead of Sussan Ley. This is how the votes are currently stacked.

Labor’s Ed Husic has mounted a scathing attack on the Deputy Prime Minister, describing him as a “factional assassin” who prioritised factional wars over showing leadership.

Nationals leader David Littleproud is standing behind his record as he stares down a challenge for the party's top position in federal parliament.
