‘All Dealt with’: Albanese Defends Greens Defector After Bullying Allegations

  • Western Australian Senator Dorinda Cox defected from the Greens to the Labor Party in a Perth press conference on Monday, 2025-06-02.
  • Cox's defection followed her approaching Labor, and it occurred amid criticism of Labor's approval of the North West Shelf gas project just last week.
  • Cox, who served as a Greens senator since 2021 and was formerly a Labor member and police officer, faced bullying allegations that have been investigated and 'dealt with appropriately.'
  • Prime Minister Albanese said he had a positive and constructive dialogue with Senator Cox following her approach, and he emphasized that her principles closely align with those upheld by the Labor Party.
  • Cox's switch does not shift Senate balance significantly but signals rare defections amidst declining partisan allegiance and rising support for independents and minors.
