Anthony Albanese

Anthony Albanese is the current Prime Minister of Australia. He is newsworthy due to his government's involvement in several significant domestic and international issues. Recently, Albanese has defended the invitation of Israeli President Isaac Herzog to visit Australia, despite objections from some members of parliament. He is also navigating complex relations with China, particularly regarding the lease of the Port of Darwin to a Chinese company, with China warning against Australia regaining control. Domestically, Albanese is pushing for a national gun buyback scheme despite opposition from some states and is offering to delay NDIS autism changes if states agree to a hospital and disability funding deal. An unflattering photo of him was also posted on the ABC News Facebook page due to a compromised staff account. These events highlight his role in managing Australia's foreign relations, national security, and domestic policy.
