Anthony Albanese

Anthony Albanese will be Australia's new prime minister, overseeing the country's first Labor government after incumbent Scott Morrison conceded defeat.

As thriving like-minded democracies we work every day to make the world a better, safer, greener and more prosperous place. The centre-left Labor Party had been favourite to win its first election since 2007. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss also wished Mr Albanese congratulations on Twitter, saying: "As freedom-loving democracies we will continue to work together for a free and open Indo-Pacific, boosting our trade and deepening our security ties through AUKUS."

'Jodie has to put up with...if we're out having dinner, put up with people coming up and photos and all of that. Should Labor win on Saturday, Albanese would become Australia's 31st prime minister with an Italian surname. 'I think part of going through a difficult period and coming out the other end is acknowledging that you're going through it. The relationship was 30 years old.' 'It's made for a difficult period. 'I needed to stop trying to understand it and just accept it and accept that it was a decision that had been made and she was moving on with her life in a different direction and I needed to do the same,' he said. Billy Hughes married a second time in 1911, five years after the death of his first wife and four years before he became the pro-conscription Labor and later Nationalist prime minister, from 1915 to 1923. Scott Morrison said: 'Labor borrowing more, spending more, it puts pressure on interest rates. 'Kevin Rudd thought that work too. Former Labor Minister and power broker Graham 'Richo' Richardson called the election result early as a win for Labor following swings to the ALP in the Liberal-held seats of Reid and Bennelong.

He made his comments after Scott Morrison conceded defeat in the election, ending almost a decade of conservative rule.

"I look forward to working with Prime Minister Albanese in the weeks, months and years ahead as, together, we tackle shared challenges and demonstrate the importance of our shared values," Mr Johnson added. Conceding defeat, Mr Morrison said: "Tonight I have spoken to the leader of the opposition and the incoming prime minister, Anthony Albanese, and I've congratulated him on his election victory this evening. "I think people have had enough of division, what they want is to come together as a nation and I intend to lead that."

Anthony Albanese's centre-left Labor Party has won the election, in a massive upset for Scott Morrison.

Labour is promising more spending on care for children and the elderly. Due to the pandemic, around half of Australia’s 17 million electors have voted early or applied for postal votes, which will likely slow the count. The result will be a harsh blow for Scott Morrison, who was the first person to hold onto the role for a full term since 2007.

The Labor leader's election victory saw him sweep to power after defeating the incumbent Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

“Tonight the Australian people have voted for change. “My Labor team will work every day to bring Australians together. And I will lead a government worthy of the people of Australia. A government as courageous and hardworking and caring as the Australian people are themselves.” Labor pledged to hold a referendum to constitutionally enshrine an Indigenous voice in Parliament, and accused the Coalition of “ignoring the needs” of First Nations people and voters. Mr Morrison had also been unpopular with voters and admitted during the last week of election campaigning that he had been a “bit of a bulldozer”. The climate crisis was one of the main policy differences between Mr Morrison’s Coalition and Labor, with the centre-left party vowing to set up dozens of solar banks to boost the use of renewable energy.

"I want to unite the country," the Labor Party leader said after conservative Prime Minister Scott Morrison conceded defeat following an election on Saturday.

The final results of the Australian election have yet to be announced, with millions of votes yet to be counted. When Labor was elected in 2007 under the leadership of Kevin Rudd, he served as minister for infrastructure and transport - a role he also served in under Mr Rudd’s successor Julia Gillard. Mr Albanese joined the Labor Party in his 20s and worked in politics at both state and federal level, before getting elected to the Australian Parliament on his 33rd birthday in 1996. He sits on the left of the Labor Party and is a long-term supporter of Australia’s free healthcare system, an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community as well as a republican. He came into office in 2018 when he was elected leader of the conservative Liberal Party - a centre-right political party that has held power in a coalition with the National Party since 2013. So who is Anthony Albanese - and what are the final results of the Australian election projected to be?

"It says a lot about our great country," he told them, "that a son of a single mum who was a disability pensioner, who grew up in public housing, can stand before you tonight as Australia's prime minister." As leader of the house, Mr Albanese made sure the "work of government proceeded", said the trade minister in that government, Craig Emerson. "It says a lot about our great country," Mr Albanese tells supporters, "that a son of a single mum who was a disability pensioner, who grew up in public housing, can stand before you tonight as Australia's prime minister."

Labor leader pledges to implement Uluru statement and to end climate wars, while Scott Morrison says he will stand down as Liberal leader after defeat.

Without Frydenberg in the Parliament, Peter Dutton is seen as the most likely MP to replace him as leader. “Every parent wants more for the next generation than they had. The Greens were expected to pick up the seat of Ryan from the Liberal party, and are neck and neck with the Labor party in the seats of Brisbane and Griffith. There could be as many as 16 MPs on the crossbench, a record number. Optimism, not fear and division. “Tonight the Australian people have voted for change.

And he's going to be thrown into the mix of the Quad meeting next week. And I think that's what Australians want," he told the National Press Club in January. "He's presented himself as someone who's going to be a level-headed leader. The fact that that young kid is now running for Prime Minister says a lot about her and her courage, but it also says a lot about this country." Morrison was deeply unpopular with voters and seemed to acknowledge as much when he admitted during the last week of the campaign that he had been a "bit of a bulldozer." One of Albanese's first priorities as Prime Minister will be to rebuild relations with foreign leaders he says Morrison has neglected in recent years. They targeted traditionally safe Liberal seats, challenging voters to take a stand on decades of government inaction. Marija Taflaga, lecturer in politics and international relations at the Australian National University, said the swing towards the Greens was remarkable. Speaking to his supporters late Saturday night, Morrison said he had called Albanese and congratulated him on his election victory. "I will work every day to bring Australians together. He was referring to making hard decisions during the pandemic and severing a submarine deal with France, but it reflected claims about his leadership style as being more authoritarian than collaborative. Labor is currently sitting on around 70, according to the Australian Electoral Commission.

Anthony Albanese has led his Labor Party to victory in the election, ending nine years of conservative rule.

“And in particular, to opportunity.” “I don’t pretend to be perfect. What I do, though, is accept responsibility. At 12, Albanese helped organise a rent strike that kept his mother’s public housing property from being sold off to developers. “I want to unite the country. “My mother dreamt of a better life for me.

Albanese jokingly asked the man to quieten down – saying he wanted to run “an orderly government, and that starts right now”. For it was only after Morrison finished that Albanese could take the stage. By that time, it was over bar the conceding. The open bar was flowing at that stage. It wasn’t until at least 9pm, when the first proper results came in from Western Australia and talk of 10% swings against the Liberals swept through the room like wildfire, that the red-shirted tragics dared to dream. Nine years in the wilderness of opposition and three crushing defeats had put up a wall of doubt among Labor faithful that they could pull this off.

Lower income families would also benefit from increased subsidies. Labor will extend the powers of the Fair Work Commission to include 'employee-like' forms of work, meaning they would need to receive minimum wage. The ALP will also make a submission to the Fair Work Commission to support a pay rise for aged care workers. In March 2021 the government defined casual work for the first time as a situation where a worker has 'no firm advance commitment to continuing and indefinite work according to an agreed pattern of work'. Labor will set up a federal integrity commission which the Morrison Government promised in 2019 then failed to deliver. Together, we can take advantage of the opportunity for Australia to be a renewable energy superpower,' Mr Albanese declared in his victory speech. Labor will introduce a 'Help to Buy' scheme where the government would take a 40 per cent stake in up to 10,000 homes a year to help people earning less than $90,000 on to the property ladder. Labor has proposed a 'help to buy' scheme which would see the government take a 40 per cent stake in up to 10,000 homes a year to help people earning less than $90,000 on to the property ladder (pictured is an auction in Melbourne) Mr Albanese is expected to be sworn in on Monday, along with senior members of his cabinet, before heading to Tokyo for the Quad meeting with the leaders of Japan, the US and India. The pledge came after a submission from the Australian Council of Trade Unions to the Fair Work Commission backing a rise in the minimum wage of 5.5 per cent. Millions of Australians are set to get a pay rise after the ALP leader pledged to boost the minimum wage by 5.1 per cent Earlier this month, Mr Albanese backed a 5.1 per cent hike in the minimum wage in order to keep up with rising inflation.

Our security, together with our survival, is at peril,” he said. Also at the top of New Zealand’s concerns is the wider security of the Indo-Pacific, and the growing influence of China in the region. Sogavare assured Albanese “that Solomon Islands remains Australia’s steadfast friend and development partner of choice”. In a statement, Sogavare expressed hope for “taking Solomon Islands’ relationship with Australia to another level under Albanese’s tenure as the prime minister of Australia”. An editorial in the Times of India, citing unnamed diplomatic sources, said it was too early to tell how Albanese’s election might influence the relationship with India, but speculated there might be a “smoothening of Australia’s ties with China”. Australia’s relationship with France soured when the Coalition abandoned a submarine deal between the two countries in favour of a security pact with the US and the UK. World leaders have congratulated Anthony Albanese on his election victory, while former heads of government in the Pacific have urged him to “make a radical shift towards strong and urgent climate action”.

There is still no clear answer as to whether Australia's new prime minister Anthony Albanese will be able to form a majority government or have to rely on ...

Mr Morrison, who became prime minister after an internal party coup in 2018, said he would stand down as Liberal leader. “More people turned to the Greens than ever before … because we said that politics needs to be done differently.” I want to change the way that politics operates in this country.” “I do want to change the country. someone with a non-Anglo Celtic surname is the leader in the House of Representatives and that someone with a surname like Wong is the leader of the government in the Senate,” he said. A total of 15 seats had been declared for independents or minor party candidates.

With moving personal story and affable reputation, the veteran politician has steered Labor through opposition wilderness and now into power.

Over the intervening nine years, Albanese loomed as a senior and popular figure in the party, as its leader Bill Shorten lost two elections in a row in 2016 and 2019. Albanese’s push to avoid unnecessary antagonism and opposition attracted criticism from colleagues and the media, with claims he was vacating the field by waving through many of the Coalition’s key measures, but the leader rarely wavered, confident in his belief that Australians had “conflict fatigue”. A senior figure in Labor for much of his political career, Albanese worked as New South Wales Labor’s assistant general secretary for six years in the 1990s before being elected to federal parliament. He rose up the ranks of the shadow ministry under Labor leaders Kim Beazley and Simon Crean in the late 1990s and early 2000s, before being becoming minister for transport and infrastructure following Kevin Rudd’s 2007 election win. Maryanne died in 2001; in 2009, Albanese managed to track down his father, Carlo, and a half-brother and half-sister. But beneath the jovial exterior, Albanese has one of the more emotional and heart-rending personal stories in politics.

Anthony Albanese is the first divorcee to take office, and how he and his partner Jodie Haydon plan to navigate public life is largely a mystery so far.

Albanese’s immediate focus is on the Quad meeting in Japan on Tuesday, but after that, he and Haydon will have time to make decisions about where they will live as he takes office. Haydon is in the unusual position of deciding whether she wants to move in with the prime minister once he has decided where he will base himself, such as at The Lodge in Canberra. Much has been written about whether Australia is ready for a divorced prime minister – Albanese split from former NSW Labor minister Tebbutt in 2019 – but Haydon seems to be rising to the occasion, having jumped boots and all into the campaign.

Green leader Adam Bandt said his party wanted to work with the next government to "tackle the climate crisis" and an "inequality crisis" he said was threatening Australia. It is still unclear whether Anthony Albanese's Labor Party will be able to form a majority government or have to rely on the support of smaller parties and independents, who picked up seats. It is still unclear whether the Labor Party will be able to form a majority government or have to rely on the support of smaller parties and independents who picked up seats. I want to change the way that politics operates in this country." Of these, three have been secured by the Green Party and 12 by non-aligned candidates, with up to nine of those so-called teal independents, who campaigned on policies of integrity, equality and tackling climate change. This is seen as a result of voter anger over inaction on climate change after some of the worst floods and most devastating fires to hit Australia.
