Parliament’s back, but the prime minister is not — he’s attending several summits in Asia instead. Welcome to another week in Australian politics. You might have thought he would be strolling into the chamber today, flexing, dabbing and high-fiving MPs down the aisle to celebrate his return from Washington last week, but Anthony Albanese won’t be present at Parliament House. Albanese flew to Malaysia yesterday to attend the ASEAN summit, where “trade, security and Donald Trump are expected to be the key issues discussed”, as ABC News reports.
