Anthony Norman Albanese ( /ˈælbəniːz/ AL-bə-neez;[1] born 2 March 1963) also known by his nickname Albo is an Italian-Australian politician who is the 31st and current Prime Minister of Australia, taking the position in 2022. He has been Member of Parliament for Grayndler since 1996. Since May 2019, Albanese has been the 21st Leader of the Australian Labor Party.
Albanese was the 15th Deputy Prime Minister of Australia and the 25th Deputy Leader of the Labor Party in 2013 under Kevin Rudd. He was a critic of Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard leadership conflicts from 2010 to 2013 where Albanese sided with Rudd.[2] Albanese has described his political views as progressive.[3]
After Labor lost the 2013 election, Albanese ran against Bill Shorten in the leadership election. He lost to Shorten. After Labor was defeated in the 2019 election, he was the first to become a candidate for the leadership after Shorten resigned.[4] He was soon elected unopposed as leader on 30 May 2019 and later became the 34th Opposition Leader.[5]
In May 2022, the Labor Party won the most seats in the 2022 federal election with Albanese becoming the new prime minister.
