With the Fadden by-election hot on their heels, Joel Duggan and Porter Mattinson look back at the week that was.
Anthony Albanese's approval ratings have dropped to their lowest levels since the Labor Party was elected last year.

Philip Lowe will not be continuing as the governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA).
With high levels of unemployment, talk of cultural problems within the RBA and broken promises surrounding interest rate rises, it is perhaps no surprise that criticism has plagued Lowe's term.

The Coalition has retained the electoral stronghold that is the Queensland seat of Fadden, with a modest two per cent swing towards them.

May politicking never change.
