Part 8/10:
In closing, McGorin reflected on the recent commencement of parliamentary sessions in Australia. He described the week as “unusually entertaining,” citing the alliance between Barnaby Joyce and Michael McCormack as an unexpected yet humorous development. The unlikely partnership signaled internal dynamics within the Nationals, with Joyce often providing levity through his characteristic demeanor.
He praised Susan Lee for her professionalism and composure, though he noted her need to develop policies and an ideological edge to effectively influence the majority government. Meanwhile, the government itself faced the challenge of balancing confidence and humility, working to demonstrate a commitment to serving Australians while maintaining harmony with crossbench members.
