Australia’s Labor Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese has decried a move by the Liberal-National coalition party (LNP) after it registered a web address bearing his name.

The web address albanese.com.au is registered to a “Sam Jackson” from the LNP. But in a trick Albanese referred to as a “childish,” the site redirects visitors to the LNP’s official website, liberal.org.au.
