Tonight, Kitchen Cabinet returns with Opposition Leader Angus Taylor welcoming Annabel Crabb to his family farm, offering viewers a rare glimpse into the personal life of the Liberal Party leader away from Canberra.
In the second episode of Season 8, Annabel Crabb travels to the working farm near Goulburn that Angus Taylor shares with his wife, Louise, and their corgis, Frank and Violet.
The episode comes at a significant time for Taylor, who is the ninth Liberal leader this century. As Leader of the Opposition and Member for Hume, NSW, he faces the challenge of rebuilding the Coalition following its election defeat while responding to the growing support for One Nation and the Coalition’s declining vote.

Away from the political arena, however, viewers see a different side of the Opposition Leader as he steps into the kitchen for the series’ trademark combination of food and conversation.
Drawing on the culinary skills he developed during his days spent on horseback in the high country, Taylor takes on the challenge of making his own damper while speaking candidly with Crabb.
During the visit, he reflects on growing up in the country, his time at Oxford, personal loss and the political task that now lies ahead.
The episode continues the long-running Kitchen Cabinet format, which combines cooking with extended conversations in the homes of high-profile Australians, providing insight into both their professional and personal lives.
Kitchen Cabinet — Season 8 Episode 2 airs tonight, Tuesday 28 July 2026, at 8.30pm on ABC and ABC iview.
