PM Albanese Marries Haydon in Surprising Lodge Ceremony

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese married Jodie Haydon on Saturday in an intimate ceremony at The Lodge, making him the first Australian Prime Minister to wed while in office. The low-key event surprised many in Canberra as staff prepared the grounds for what became the first wedding ever held at the official residence. Albanese and Haydon met five years ago at a Melbourne dinner and have lived together at The Lodge for most of that time, often accompanied by their dog, Toto. Their engagement was announced in February 2024 with a selfie taken inside the residence. Albanese joins a small group of world leaders who married while serving, including Boris Johnson in 2021 and U.S. President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. The Lodge, built nearly a century ago, has hosted countless dignitaries but never a wedding, until now. For Albanese and Haydon, it was a natural choice, being the place where their life together has unfolded.

Queensland Farms Owe $25 Million in Unpaid Taxes

Operation Topaz investigation examined 50 farms and labor hire companies in Gatton, Queensland in November last year. Seven employers were found to owe $25 million to the tax office due to unpaid taxes and superannuation. Five employers underpaid 67 farm workers by almost $24,000 in wages. Nine businesses violated workplace laws. Officers inspected farms that produce broccoli, onions, pumpkins, and shallots. The Department of Home Affairs checked the immigration status of 423 people. Most businesses were doing well and following the rules, but a few bad employers were taking advantage of vulnerable migrant workers. The investigation is still ongoing as government agencies continue to cooperate in catching businesses that break tax, employment, and immigration laws.
