Taylor's tetchy press conference, Bragg's big day out
The opposition leader and prime minister both had tense press conferences this week.
Federal leaders Anthony Albanese and Angus Taylor are undergoing intense scrutiny this week. Taylor faced a heated press conference in Newcastle after being grilled about his ties to Dallas McInerney, a figure involved in the NSW Liberal corruption inquiry. His senior adviser Kane Silom criticized a Channel 10 reporter for leaving the conference early.
Meanwhile, Albanese dodged similar questions during a similar press conference, instead focusing on the Tomago smelter deal. Bragg, a Liberal moderate, delivered a wide-ranging speech at the National Press Club, criticizing "indolent" leaders and proposing sweeping changes to housing, tax, and immigration policies. His remarks sparked controversy and criticism from opposition members.
