Anthony Albanese has brushed off Dorinda Cox’s recent strong criticism of the Labor government – of which she is now a member – claiming the senator made the shock party switch because the Greens had “lost their way” and could not effect social change.

Greens senator Dorinda Cox has defected to the Labor party, in a move which shocked colleagues and boosts Anthony Albanese’s numbers in federal parliament.
