'A good fit': How ex-Lambie senator found a home with Labor

Tasmanian independent senator Tammy Tyrrell joined Labor on Thursday, saying the party is "a good fit" for her political values. Tyrrell, elected under Jacqui Lambie's network in 2022, left that party in 2024 and cited her voting alignment with Labor. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced her defection, which boosts Labor's Senate numbers to 30 of 76 members.
