Anthony Norman Albanese ( /ˈælbəniːz/ AL-bə-neez;[1] born 2 March 1963) is an Australian Labor politician. He has been Member of Parliament for Grayndler since 1996. Since May 2019, Albanese has been the Leader of the Labor Party and Leader of the Opposition.
Albanese was Deputy Prime Minister of Australia and Deputy Leader of the Labor Party in 2013.
In 2007, Albanese became Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, and Local Government, and was also appointed Leader of the House. He was a critic of Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard leadership conflicts from 2010 to 2013.
After Labor lost the 2013 election, Albanese ran against Bill Shorten in the leadership election. He lost to Shorten. After Labour was defeated in the 2019 election, he was the first to become a candidate for the leadership after Shorten resigned. [2] He was soon elected unopposed as leader on 30 May 2019.[3]
