Anthony Albanese

Labor Party leader Anthony Albanese said he wanted to bring Australians together as he made his first comments after leading his party to an election ...

I think people have had enough of division, what they want is to come together as a nation and I intend to lead that." “What we have achieved here is extraordinary,” teal candidate and former foreign correspondent Zoe Daniels said in her victory speech. Mr Morrison's Liberal party-led coalition was seeking a fourth three-year term. Albanese said he had thought Morrison would have called the election last weekend because Australia’s prime minister is expected at a Tokyo summit on Tuesday with U.S. President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A record proportion of postal votes because of the pandemic, which won’t be added to the count until Sunday, adds to the uncertainty in early counting. "I want to unite the country," Albanese told reporters as he left his home late on Saturday night to attend a Labor Party celebration in Sydney.

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.

"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."

SYDNEY: Anthony Albanese, Australia's newly elected prime minister, was rushed to hospital last year after a four-wheel-drive slammed into his car.

The question is whether you learn from it. It says something about the pressure that was placed on women," he said. "I was raised being told that he had died. "That someone from those beginnings ... can stand before you today, hoping to be elected prime minister of this country tomorrow." Advertisement Advertisement

Many of them speak openly of “PTSD” after the 2019 shock loss, and none have uttered a single word even hinting that they think the result is locked. After 26 years as the local member, Albanese said he aimed to stay “grounded” if he won tonight. In the back of the press conference, several Albanese advisers hugged and smiled, appearing drained after a gruelling campaign. Albanese said he “slept quite well” on Friday night, after blitzing through four states in a day. Walking Toto, Albanese told Labor volunteers “we’re almost there”. Toto was a hit with supporters outside, with volunteers and journalists posing for photos with the most famous dog in Australian politics. The emotion of the campaign seems to have caught up with Albanese in recent days.

The son of a single mother, born into a life in public housing, Anthony Albanese has achieved his life-long wish of becoming Prime Minister.

He overcome a day one gaffe on the unemployment rate and used surging living costs and falls in real wages to argue the case for a change in government. Some in Labor feared he was a creature of opposition and might not have what it takes to lead Labor from the political wilderness to government. As leader, he deliberately kept a low profile and insisted he would be "kicking with the wind" as the election loomed.

Anthony Albanese is set to become Australia's new Prime Minister after incumbent Scott Morrison conceded defeat in the country's general election. Mr Albanese, ...

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?

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.

I think people have had enough of division, what they want is to come together as a nation and I intend to lead that." Labor pledged transformation if elected to Government in 2019 but was left reeling after Liberal leader Scott Morrison was handily re-elected. Mr Albanese has promised to cut emissions by 43% by the end of the decade and to reach net zero by 2050. “She chose, in order to deal with the pressures that were on a young Catholic woman at that time, in those circumstances, to take my father's name, and I was raised, being told that he had died,” Mr Albanese said, his voice choked with emotion. Mr Albanese, who briefly served as Deputy Prime Minister in 2013, made much of his background as the child of a working-class single mother and in the run up to polling day spoke of the “courageous decision” she made not putting him up for adoption:

Anthony Albanese, who is set to be Australia's next prime minister, is a pragmatic leader from a working-class background who has pledged to end divisions ...

The party's time back in power, from 2007 to 2013, was marred by leadership squabbles in which he openly criticised both sides.

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”.

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.
