Coming Up: Monday May 12, 2025 - Q+A
Stream the show on ABC iview or on Q+A's YouTube channel
Anthony Albanese hasn't just secured a Labor majority in parliament – he's crushed his political rivals and weakened opposition to his agenda.
The Liberal benches have shrunk as the party engages in internal conflict over a new leader and policy direction. The Greens will remain a Senate force but have lost at least three MPs, including their leader. 'Teal' independents have been thinned by one and possibly two.
So, what now for Albanese's Australia? What should Labor's priorities be? What do Australians get for handing them such a big mandate? And what should the opposition and crossbenchers stand for – and against?
Q+A is broadcasting from Sydney on Monday, May 12 at 9.35pm AEST.
