When Anthony Albanese became the first prime minister to get married in office, the pressure was on for his ring-bearer, a 10-year-old in a white gown trimmed in tulle.

Fortunately Toto, the prime minister’s blond cavoodle, was escorted down the aisle on her white lead by Albanese’s five-year-old niece, Ella.
