| Anthony Albanese also addressed British Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn’s good showing in the British election. Parallels were drawn by the compere between Corbyn and Albanese, given they both have strong support amongst grass roots Labour/Labor members. Pyne describes Albo as the “poor man’s Corbyn” because he is not as left wing as Corbyn. | |
| Albo says bollocks. | |
| I like Australian Labor because we have our own history and quite often I think people, whether it be people in the Labor Party or people on the conservative side who tug their forelock to the UK do us a disservice. It was Hawke and Keating who modernised Labor here well before the British Labour party was modernised but Jeremy Corbyn, I’ve met Jeremy, he is a very likeable fellow. He’s someone who has strong convictions and I think his authenticity shone through in the election campaign. I wasn’t surprised that he did well. | |

| Albo on Finkel: if you get to the same destination in a different way, it's a good thing | |
| Defence industry minister Christopher Pyne and Anthony Albanese – the odd couple of Australian politics - have appeared on 5AA radio. Pyne says the media reports of a backlash in the Coalition party room over Finkel are nonsense. | |
| I was there and there weren’t robust exchanges. | |
| Albo is conciliatory. | |
| I think it is reasonable what Christopher says about his party room having a mature debate about it. I don’t think they should be expected to come out with an immediate response. There is obviously push back from some of the more conservative elements of the Liberal party and the National party about this but they have a responsibility. They can’t continue to blame someone else and what we’ve said is that Finkel provides a framework. It’s not our ideal position; we think it should be an emissions intensity scheme, but nonetheless if you get to the same destination in a different way then that’s a good thing. And that destination is lower emissions, lower prices, and more stability. | |
| Pyne is clearly disappointed. | |
| He’s become a statesman and he is no fun anymore. | |
| Albo: | |
| I chose not to smash you up, Christopher. | |

| The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed nor finally agreed upon by a judge. But Guardian Australia understands that the compensation will be more than $100m, which would mean each claimant would receive at least $52,000. | The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed nor finally agreed upon by a judge.
