What we learned, Sunday 27 November
After a big day in state and federal politics, we’re going to wrap things up. These were the day’s big developments:
Labor is on track to secure more than 51 out of 88 seats in the Victorian lower house, six more than required to govern in majority. The Coalition is projected to win at least 25 seats and the Greens – who are eyeing balance of power in the upper house – at least four.
Matthew Guy announced he would step down as Victorian Liberal leader after Saturday’s crushing defeat, with the party now turning its mind to who will replace him.
The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, called on Scott Morrison to apologise for signing himself on to multiple ministries.
The federal government struck a deal with the independent senator David Pocock to pass its industrial relations bill in return for a boost to safeguards for small and medium businesses and regular reviews of the adequacy of welfare payments.
Thanks, as always, for joining us. I hope you enjoy the remainder of your weekend.
