New Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he wants to see Labor have two terms in government and is calling for the party to be disciplined to ensure it can “entrench” major reforms.

In an address to the Labor Party Caucus, Albanese said the centre-left party needed six years to really lock in major programs in the country, including universal childcare and the renewable energy push.
