Speaker 2: sign off on a list of the thirty MP's who
Speaker 2: will form the Albanese government's new front bench. The prime
Speaker 2: minister confirmed his re elected government's first priority will be
Speaker 2: to legislate Labour's promised HEXTEP cuts. Meanwhile, Shadow treasurer Angus

Speaker 1: herself in the hours after serving a deadly beef Wellington lunch.
Speaker 1: Pattison's son told police his mother complained of feeling quote
Speaker 1: a bit sick and had diarrhea the day after the lunch. However,
