President Biden sits down for interview with George Stephanopoulos l ABC News exclusive 
00:00 Welcome to Insiders.
For Anthony Albanese – nailing down the AUKUS deal with Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak back in March was one thing. Winning over the Labor faithful another.
The ALP has long-resisted anything nuclear – and many rank-and-file members agree with Paul Keating that this submarine plan is a terrible idea. But on Friday – a strong majority of delegates at the ALP Conference backed AUKUS – it’s now written into the party platform – after powerful arguments from the Defence Minister and Prime Minister.
The win for the government was predictable – but significant, nonetheless. What’s less clear is whether Labor is winning its political battle with the Greens over the housing crisis – an issue that also dominated the week.
