As the opposition leader, Angus Taylor, prepares to deliver his budget reply speech tonight, the Labor Party has announced a new member.

Senator for Tasmania, Tammy Tyrrell, has switched to the Labor Party.

Tyrrell represented that party until 2024 when she resigned and decided to sit as an independent.
