With just days to go before the federal election, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese delivered his final address at the National Press Club on April 30, positioning himself as the leader of a stable, costed, and values-driven Labor government.

“It has been both my ambition and honour to be the prime minister of Australia,” Albanese said. “We have worked each and every day to repay the trust that the Australian people placed in us.”
