Good morning and welcome to our rolling news coverage. I’m Martin Farrer and I’ll be flagging some of the best overnight stories before Emily Wind takes over.
Linda Burney has been praised for her “courage” and “dedication” after she resigned as minister for Indigenous Australians.

Meanwhile, our political editor, Karen Middleton, looks at the challenges for Anthony Albanese as he tries to find a replacement for her and outgoing skills minister Brendan O’Connor. More coming up.
