Federal politics live: PM reveals date for new cabinet announcement as Liberal leadership race narrows

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he will reveal the Labor government's new ministry next Tuesday, the same day the governor-general is set to swear him in for his second term. Meanwhile, a divided Coalition continues to pick up the pieces after a devastating election loss, with Labor now guaranteed to finish with at least twice the number of seats as the opposition. The race to lead the Liberal Party has narrowed to just two likely contenders, with Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor supported by the party's dominant conservative faction, while acting leader Sussan Ley is being backed by moderates.

You can read his statement in full below: "The loss of the Greens' seats in the House of Representatives is a repudiation of the antisemitism of the Greens and a vindication of Peter Dutton's decision to put them last. "In November 2023, I called on all the major political parties to put the Greens last. "We did so, but Labor continued to preference them second. "Greens senators will now be elected on the back of Labor preferences. "However, each Labor Member elected to the House of Representatives to replace the Greens would not be there without Coalition preferences. "It remains an indictment on Albanese that he could not bring himself to put the Greens last. "More broadly, it is a warning to the Left about the electoral consequences of entertaining antisemitism," the statement said.
