  • Defence Minister Richard Marles says there have been discussions with the United States over Darwin Port being in Chinese hands, but refused to say if these were behind Labor’s U-turn on the port’s ownership.
  • Victorian Opposition Leader Brad Battin has boldly claimed that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese won’t appear again with the increasingly unpopular state premier Jacinta Allan for the rest of the election.
  • Liberal MP Michael Sukkar claims the Coalition’s U-turn on its work from home policy shows Opposition Leader Peter Dutton is capable of admitting when he gets something wrong and will be marked up by voters.
