Albanese cops a roasting at big business’ night of nights

Two years ago, still wearing a honeymoon glow, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese followed his address to the Business Council of Australia’s annual dinner by offering a few lucky CEOs a ride on his private plane Toto One to Canberra for the government’s jobs and skills summit.

The two smiled and made nice for the cameras once the PM made his red carpet arrival. But Albanese had little time for small talk on arrival, hurriedly whisked through the throng of well-wishers into the Hyatt Regency’s Maritime Ballroom. From the other side, CBD spotted the ever-chipper former Liberal defence minister turned lobbyist Christopher Pyne, federal Liberal MP Paul Fletcher and former Liberal federal director Brian Loughnane , currently conducting a review into the party’s embattled NSW division.

The round table will examine family violence and technology-facilitated abuse and include First Nations women. One issue the organisers will have to navigate is a spectacular rift among women’s right’s campaigners. Batty told the pair she thought their criticisms of the national prevention agency Our Watch were damaging efforts to protect women.

“It is a difficult thing to report,” she said. “People sometimes think they’re not going to be believed. A lot of people feel shame, so they sit on it for years.”The construction of a flashy new fish market in Pyrmont – touted as the most significant harbourside building since the Opera House – should be a feel-good story for Sydney.
