We've got Anthony Albanese saying at the same time when, when Kabul, two days after Kabul fell, that Australia has a moral obligation to help these people.
Tony MurneyGUEST
Then we have Penny Wong in 2023 in front of Senate estimates saying, "This is a matter of principle, and it's a matter of principle that goes to our national interest." So these people all know what they're doing.
Tony MurneyGUEST
Anthony Albanese, when he spoke at the same time, mentioned that the threat against these people was lethal, so he also knows the magnitude of the risk.
Tony MurneyGUEST

In the current parliament, the Greens play a key role in the Senate.
Anna PykettHOST
The Albanese government essentially needs either their support or the coalition's support to pass legislation, so the party's next leader will be doing plenty of negotiating.
Andrew WilliamsHOST
And as for who that'll be, we'll likely find that out sometime this week.
