Art of the deal? Albo tries to woo Trump

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has a spring in his step this week, after it was revealed a carve out on US President Donald Trump's 25 per cent tariff on steel and aluminium was "under consideration". But will the PM's political luck run out before the election?

It comes as the first sitting fortnight of the year comes to an end, with the crossbench decrying the Labor-Coalition deal on electoral reforms as a major party "stitch up". Independents Helen Haines and Zali Stegall have suggested they will overhaul the reforms if re-elected.
