Anthony Albanese has just delivered his long goodbye to the 2025 Parliamentary year.

He made special mention of the Deputy PM, Leader of the House, Senate team, caucus, personal staff, security detail, wife-to-be, Jodie, and son, Nathan.

He made reference to Christmas being a particularly significant time for people of faith.

It is an important time where people can rekindle their faith, think about their place in the world, and remind ourselves that in the arc of history, we’re small.

He wrapped up with a reference to The Ashes.

I look forward to continuing to watch Australia humiliate the English cricket team, starting on Saturday with the PMs 11, sorting out, sorting out the English team at Manuka Oval
