Trump's victory means old tweets and statements are coming back to haunt Anthony Albanese
ABCWelcome back to your weekly federal politics update, where Brett Worthington gets you up to speed on the happenings from Parliament House. The tweets remained online as Rudd became Australia's ambassador to the US, quietly ticking down like a time bomb edging ever closer to exploding as Trump re-sought the presidency.
