The government achieved a significant legislative breakthrough in its final parliamentary sitting week, passing 45 bills including 31 during a marathon Thursday session. This success came after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese implemented an aggressive strategy to overcome Senate gridlock.

Key legislation passed included:

• Social media restrictions for under-16s
• Migration reforms
• Future Made in Australia bills
• Reserve Bank restructuring
• Buy-now-pay-later system changes
• Housing initiatives for Build to Rent program
• Privacy overhaul
• Money laundering crackdown
• Family law reforms

Some notable outcomes:

• The environment protection authority bill was shelved to avoid potential mining industry backlash
• The superannuation tax proposal for balances over $3m was postponed
• Electoral reform bill failed after Opposition withdrew support

The strategy involved:

• Dividing legislation into two groups: Coalition-backed and other priorities
• Using parliamentary mechanisms to force quick votes
• Surprising opponents with a larger-than-expected bill list
• Intense negotiations led personally by Albanese

This legislative push marked a significant shift from the previous year's challenges, including the Voice referendum defeat and detention law setback. Albanese emphasized the government's focus on "getting things done" while balancing immediate challenges with long-term vision.
