Australian politics live: Albanese says ‘completely wrong’ he ‘cleaned up’ after Chalmers on credit card ban; Coalition continues to target Aly

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has denied claims he "cleaned up" after Finance Minister Jim Chalmers on a credit card ban. Albanese said it was "completely wrong" to suggest he intervened to help Chalmers. This controversy comes as the opposition Coalition continues to target Labor's Minister for Indigenous Australians, Linda Burney, by name. The ongoing focus on individual politicians may impact public perception and influence voter opinions ahead of the next election.
