The Labor family is "broken-hearted" after the death of federal MP Peta Murphy, who passed away following a years-long battle with cancer, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says.
An emotional Albanese told reporters on Monday that Murphy had passed away at her Melbourne home in the presence of her husband. She was 50 years old.
The prime minister said Murphy’s Labor colleagues would struggle to come to terms with her death "far too young, with so much more to offer".
