Albanese has always been the leader of the left wing of Labour, but since becoming Labour leader, he has moved his position closer to the centre.

Anthony Albanese will become Australia’s next prime minister after leading the Labor Party to its first federal election victory in a decade.

One of the country’s most senior politicians, he promised voters a “safe change” as he ran for the election vowing to oust the conservative Liberal-National coalition that has been in power since 2013 main campaign slogan.

The defeated incumbent, Scott Morrison, described himself as a “bulldozer”, while Albanese vowed to be a “builder”.

With Australia’s states isolated from each other and cities torn apart by strict lockdowns for more than two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, fostering unity is a priority for the new leader.
