‘Angus Taylor presents us with a new question: can a soufflé rise once?’ the prime minister said in a speech to a Labor conference

The prime minister has borrowed from a sharp-tongued predecessor to launch his first attack on the new opposition leader, Angus Taylor, asking: “Can a soufflé rise once?”

Albanese played on an infamous insult from former prime minister Paul Keating, who asked whether a soufflé rises twice when Liberal Andrew Peacock mounted a challenge to regain the party leadership in 1989.
