However, the new government was elected with a lower share of the vote than that secured by any previous majority government.

Broadcast journalist Antoinette Lattouf was sacked by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) for her political opinions concerning the war in Gaza, the Federal Court has found. Lattouf has been awarded $70,000 in damages for non-economic loss, based on findings that her sacking caused her what the judge called “great distress”. Justice Darryl Rangiah said this was obvious from her demeanour in the witness box.
