Australia’s Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton in a prime ministerial battle that's been decades in the making

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is running for re-election amid tight competition, facing challenges from global inflation and a failed Indigenous referendum.
His government committed A$368 billion to the Aukus submarine partnership and improved relations with China, lifting a A$20 billion boycott on Australian goods and releasing a jailed journalist.
Polls indicate a likely hung Parliament, where either Labor or the Liberal-National coalition must negotiate with independents for a minority government, making negotiation skills crucial for Albanese's leadership.
Labor's 2025 election focus includes tax cuts and an A$8.5 billion healthcare pledge.
