Nareen Young, a Professor for Indigenous Policy at the University of Technology in Sydney, was pictured at Mr Albanese’s victory party on Saturday night.
She shared a snap of herself beaming with Tony Burke, the senior frontbencher tipped to be the Leader of the House, saying she was ‘so looking forward’ to working with him.

‘Tony Burke is the best of Labor humans who is going to be a great minister,’ she wrote.
‘I’m sure I’m going to disagree with him sometimes but that’s what makes everything great.’
The new Prime Minister was the best man at her wedding and is considered one of her husband’s best mates.
Prof. Young famously took aim at Mr Morrison earlier this year after he told Sunrise ‘I’m just a normal white bread, white toast man. That’s me’.
She told the ABC’s The Drum that his comments were ‘really interesting’.
‘Who eats white bread in this country? Anglo men.’
Professor Nareen Young said on ABC’s The Drum Scott Morrison was out of touch for eating white bread
‘I think it shows a deep lack of understanding as to who works in this country. I think that there’s a deep intersection of race and class.’
‘I come from a working class background. We had brown bread – because we were healthy.’
The Prof. Young came under attack as a ‘fruitcake’ by 2GB’s Ben Fordham for her comments which she later revealed saw her cop hateful ‘homophobic and transphobic’ messages.
Fordham said the segment was ‘like a comedy sketch’ and her observation was out of touch.
‘Professor Nareen Young decided this was an issue, not that the PM didn’t know the price of bread but the type of bread he eats,’ he said.
‘You may want to keep her logic in mind when you head to the supermarket this afternoon if you’re a white anglo man, don’t go buying Tip Top or Wonder White.
‘Are we allowed to eat Turkish bread?’

At the time, Mr Albanese was asked what he made of the academic’s opinion.
The new PM – who does not eat carbs due to his diet – did not directly criticise her but said it was not fair to judge people for their bread choice.
‘I think people should eat whatever bread they like,’ he said.
The UTS lecturer has been dubbed ‘one of the most respected and leading Australian workplace diversity practitioners and thinkers’ and has also worked as a Director of Indigenous Consulting with finance firm Price Waterhouse Coopers.
Additionally, she was the chief executive of the Diversity Council of Australia.
