- Yesterday, Angus Taylor delivered his first public speech as opposition leader at the Centre for Independent Studies in Sydney, unveiling a new shadow cabinet to confront One Nation and community independents, saying `we do need to change`.
- After internal debates about talent and debt, Angus Taylor responded to warnings about a looming debt burden by tapping Claire Chandler to address the 'almost trillion dollar debt bomb' younger Australians face.
- Taylor's frontbench choices show an economic focus, with Tim Wilson central to messaging and more women in the ministry than in the previous parliament, while Senator Andrew Bragg and Ted O’Brien retain key roles.
- Facing internal dissent, Angus Taylor, Opposition Leader, sought to reset party rows by sin-binning Nationals frontbenchers and pitching the launch as a fresh beginning after a leaked migration policy was repudiated by two senior Liberal frontbenchers.
