Question Time LIVE updates: MPs meet amid ongoing Middle East conflict

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has dramatically tabled the Liberal Party’s secret internal review into the 2025 election, to a raucous show from his Labor backbench. The Liberals had chosen to keep the document private last week.

Responding to a question from a backbencher on the gender pay gap, which referenced transparency, Albanese lauded his government’s work on the issue, before sledging the opposition for not having supported their measures.

Albanese then tabled the document, saying: “I’ll table it for them so that they can read report about the diabolical campaign that they ran about working from home was wrong and all their policies.”

Labor MPs erupted into laughter as the prime minister tabled the document.

According to a leaked copy of the party’s election review, senior Liberal MPs and officials displayed a “notable absence of reflection” about the disastrous 2025 election loss. You can read about the document here.

Question time has begun with Opposition Leader Angus Taylor once again returning to the question of so-called IS brides. Taylor asked Prime Minister Anthony Albanese if he or any of his staff had supported or expedited the issuing of passports for “ISIS sympathisers” in Syria.

This is another attempt at a question that Taylor asked Albanese yesterday, the opposition leader obviously unsatisfied with the prime minister’s answer.

Albanese rose and sledged the Coalition, saying the constitutional protections of Australian citizens had not changed in recent years, arguing that former prime minister Scott Morrison and former Nationals leader Michael McCormack had not worked to stop ISIS figures from returning to Australia while in government.

Yesterday’s sitting of question time featured repeated questions from the opposition about the return of so-called ISIS brides to Australia, with the government lambasted newly appointed Opposition Leader Angus Taylor’s record in public office.
