| Labor senator Kimberley Kitching is giving her first speech. As a Shorten ally, she was chosen after much angst in the party. Shorten is sitting on the floor of the senate. So is Richard Marles, who opposed her in favour of Diana Taylor. | |
| She has talked about Australian exceptionalism and (her predecessor) Stephen Conroy’s role in that exceptionalism. And the rest of the Labor party, she says. | |
| Kitching goes through her family and moves on to the importance of creating jobs. | |
| She now moves to royal commissions. | |

| Deputy Nationals leader Fiona Nash has called on Woolworths to honour its deal to SPC after the supermarket giant announced it would break the deal earlier today. | |
| Woolworths was happy to cash in on the good publicity when it announced a five-year, $70 million deal with SPC when national attention was focused on the issue. Woolworths said its sales of tinned fruit increased 48 per cent when it switched to SPC. | |
| Now we learn Woolworths has already dumped SPC as a tinned tomato supplier for its Woolworths brand and we read the supermarket is in talks with SPC over the future of supplying other lines to the supermarket. | |
| Woolworths should honour its word. | |

| The transition team, whomever is the president, has a significant task ahead of them putting together an administration. There are about 4,000 politically nominated positions that have to be filled. So, we will continue to work with the Obama administration during the transition period but remain closely engaged, as much as we can, with their transition teams, to look at issues of foreign and domestic policy that would affect Australia. | |
