Ex-Play School host cut from Senate office over Credlin posts

Rhys Muldoon, ex-Play School host, was stood down from his casual job in Tasmanian Senator Richard Dowling's office on 15 September 2026. Historic posts targeting Peta Credlin — what Dowling called 'abhorrent tweets' — surfaced. Dowling decided 'to not continue with his casual contract'. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called that 'appropriate'. Canberra moves quickly on this stuff.
