Federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek says she had the numbers to win the leadership of the Labor party in 2019 but chose not to contest because she was supporting her daughter.
Tanya Plibersek has urged sexual survivors to speak out after her daughter shared her own experience.
Extracts of the biography, Tanya Plibersek: On Her Own Terms by journalist Margaret Simon, were published on Saturday in Good Weekend magazine. When asked about the claims while campaigning for April's Aston by-election in Melbourne, Mr Albanese stepped around the issue."I was elected unopposed after the 2019 election and I won in 2022, and I'm very proud of the amazing team that I have."
