He'd studied economics at university but always seemed destined for a career in politics.
Mr Albanese's 26 years in politics have included just six in government, during which he held the infrastructure portfolio. He was joined on the campaign trail by his partner Jodie Haydon, who he met in 2019, the same year he became Labor leader.As leader, he deliberately kept a low profile and insisted he would be "kicking with the wind" as the election loomed.
he’s that guy in that vote thing at me church on the weekend, eh
worst PM ever
A.peraon that has a background of Nazis in their family Even a father didn't want him
He’s the Prime Minister of Australia
I wish you a all good luck with your New Leader ,Down Under , as my Daughter and my Family live there . I want the best for them .
Lol 😆 68.2% don't agree with you
A working class man!
Congratulations Anthony Albanese
Mr Albanese is my Prime Minister. At last a decent man, a truthful man and a true Aussie. Good things will happen soon. So happy right now. Australia’s just said NO to the right wing nutters of the LNP. We want democracy not a dictatorship. 😊
No 1 cares
🤢🤢🤢
A loser wait for a double dissolution by end of year
I guess Australia 🇦🇺 will find out…
After a long time Labor has a true working class person leading the party. A very refreshing change from the Shortens Rudds and potential Keneally
Seems more than a few of us did know who AlboIsPM is after all. Poor media needs to get its finger back on the pulse of the people.
What a Stupid Headline ABC - It implies we don’t know, irrespective of what follows the headline - ABC has really going to the pack [right-wing pack]. Almost seems like ABC ownership is now Murdock rather than the Australian Community judging from recent commentary leaning
Josh Frydenberg would’ve been great liberal leader
Maltese nationality plus very decent person
A Men with integrity’s, Honestly,and I believed him and his party’s they’ll workings very harder for all Australian and the country
Did u not cover the election last nite.
Mrs Albanese’s son Anthony
Oh FFS can we stop this stupidity. It may make Jane Norman and Greg Jennet giggle but the rest of Australia are totally over this type of crap!
Who cares
BON VOYAGE into a more POSITIVE FUTURE for 'All' Australians.
You’ve had 3 years to answer that question. Instead you decided to devote almost all your energies to flatter Scumbag and ignore Albo. If we didn’t know, it’s your fault. And despite you, our national broadcaster, we figured it out for ourselves. Scumbag was a hopeless PM.
A man better than Scomo, that's all he needs to be
Bloody good question - and the answer is
It won't be sleazy under Albanese
He's the PM. But those of us who've been paying attention already knew enough about who he is. Not a liar. Not a bully. Not workshy.
A communist global shill
Just another politician who will never honour their election 'promises'. Einstein's definition of insanity in action 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Th man who proved Australian people are not fooled by Murdoch media.
Who? Well he’s OUR Prime Minister! That’s who he is!!!!
A Muppet.
Your election night coverage was execrable. I have never witnessed a more blatantly biased unprofessional group in my life. Tanya Plibeseck was bullied and harangued. Finally a begrudging congratulations from Crabb. Attacked by Sales. A pity party carried on with Birmingham 🤨
Isnt he the Labour party guy?
JudyHinchcliffe Too late folks at ABC. Monday morning is not going to be comfortable around the water cooler
We know who he is, why don't you?
PatsKarvelas A leader Australians were looking for, for years...Not the Car Salesman we have had for last 3 years. One problem that will be revealed is the $s lost with corruption.
Some one who has Loews on his resume. Sydney Uni my arse
We already know who he is, that’s why we voted for him. Where have you guys been? Brown nose up Scomo’s ass?
Fuck me dead, please grow up .
WHAT HAS THE ABC BECOME?
Exactly! Someone who had been in politics for over twenty years. Do some proper reporting for once ABC
You might not know who he is, ABC! But WE do!! 31st Australian PM
The bloke temporarily holding the job for Bill Shorten.
Who cares?
You'd know if you did your fking job
Everyone knows except the media.
Not sure but He won and we are Ducked!
He is the new prime Minister who is going to sack Ita and put Barrie Cassidy in charge of the ABC ,return the Biloela family home and start putting a Federal ICAC together...that's who !!!
Who is Anthony Albanese? He's MY PM and I say that with pride, which is something I couldn't say about the previous one! Embarrassment
Him snapping at his supporters to behave during his victory speech was weird. Really unhinged, is this a taste of things to come?
CGWJS54139911 Anthony Albanese is my Premier Minister
He’s the Prime Minister of Australia!
The 31st PM
We know him well, stop using Rupert Murdoch talking points
Really, now you ask that question
He’s the one to shut down useless ABCNEWS, fcken wasting tax-payers money
For heavens sake
The same person he always was !! Hope Congrats AlboOurPM Change GreatSpeech HappyDays
Thank God 💗👍🏻🌻😉
Obviously, we know 🙄
thank you Australia for this change !!
Crim
Seriously FFS ABC 😡
medical91 Good riddance Morrison!
The joe Biden tactic works
31st prime minister of Australia auspol
thereminfan Interesting that he would seem never to have had a job outside politics (we are only talking knowledge by the power of wiki here). How can that possibly make him a man of the people? All over the world the political class is becoming more and more disconnected from reality.
You have to be kidding. Brett Worthington might live under a rock but he shouldn’t assume we all do
OUR PM!!!
What we know is probably he will be PM for the next 12 weeks and then one of his front bench will take away his job.
A far left socialist. Next question.
The most underestimated person in msm including ABC.
Your coverage of the result was appalling tonight. It was dreary, focused only on the impact on your precious Liberal party. Birmingham dominated and Laura Tingle and Tanya Plibersek virtually ignored.
Bit late now
How does a son of a single mother And an Italian dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot In West Sydney by providence impoverished In squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
Blokes never had a real job in his life. Absolute grub who has sucked on the government tit from the get go. Australia is fucked now. We'll just have to do the best we can in the meantime.
The 31st Prime Minister alboisthePM
Are you living under a freakin rock?
Your piece might have been more interesting if you had shown less bias BEFORE the election,no one needs to read your rubbish now!EVERY ONE KNOWS WHO ALBO IS AND AUSTRALIA DEMONSTRATED THAT! CATCH UP!
a fool?
I bet old albo holds a hose!!! It's his job!!
Congratulations ABC and every other free or tax payer funded outlet - your man won.
Our PM elect .... get over it. He isn’t a smug POS with a smirk which is what the outgoing PM is
It’s a guy who: 1. Refused to answer question. 2. Got key numbers wrong. 3. Can’t speak proper English, eg. “the borders are closed”
Our PM, the bloke who has been on the right side of history FOREVER! From the days he sparred with Christoper Pyne on the Today Show. C'mon we ALL know who Albo is...
a nightmare for the country 🙄🤪💩 has no fn idea on basic economics & appeals to populist politics 🙄 auspol AusPol2022 AusVotes2022 AlboForPM
If you don’t know you haven’t been paying attention.
The guy who can’t talk straight ! And has Alzheimers
He’s the Prime Minister of Australia. Don’t you watch the news ?
This is Australia new Prime Minister 31 th Prime Minister Anthony Albane... via YouTube
A decent, authentic, intelligent, resilient, unifying, passionate, empathetic Labor man, with humble beginnings, about to become our next PM, who had to battle not only the LNP but the majority of the MSM including the ABC throughout the campaign. What a great Australian story.
Australia’s clear choice!
Your boss
He’s the other guy noone really wanted
So is there a new slogan. “It was so easy for Albanese”
The best we will have this century?
“Who is Anthony Albanese”? Your biggest nightmare.
So disrespectful. Why aren’t we hearing from labor at all? Such a ridiculous broadcast
The Australian Prime Minister PMAlbo AlboMP Congratulations 👏 👏 👏 🍻 Time to Totally Reset the LNPABC Back to OurABC!! Clear! The! ABC Halls! Get rid of all the LNPMurdochParty Plants Fire! Ita & Morris as it's Time for a Media Royal Commission.👍 ResetABC 👏 👏 👏
He’s our PM!!!
He’s the Prime Minister of Australia. Where have you been?
Was about to say who gives a fook, but now ol mate has the keys to the Au palace. Dont fook it up Albo!
Pity you didn't see fit to be unbaised when it came to Australian politics.
He's the bloke we knew he was but you failed to inform people who he is. You have asked this question over and over since Morrison uttered it.
The big scary man is not in charge anymore. Come back Aunty.
hope this helps:
He has a huge job ahead of him in salvaging Australia from the disastrous previous interregnum. He is just the leader to produce what the electorate wants with the Greens and Teals. Truly a new golden age incoming
Our new PM? Is this a trick question?
Fucking PM mate
PM of Australia 😉
Aaaand ABC continues to try and gaslight its audience. We know who Albo is!, you biasly tried to bring him down for 6 weeks but he still won. Your actions wrote a story of a resilient leader that is not shaken by a rampantly biased press. you need some serious reflection
OMG are you still asking this Why don't you focus on all the other issues you completely missed during this campaign e.g. how has Animal Justice Party done as well as UAP in many seats without millions of $.
Pathetic question. He’s been in public service for decades. Clean out the ABC and hire some impartial investigators with competence.
He’s the PM hun. Get around it
Who TF are you is a better question. The work experience kid?
Oh for god sake grow up ABC Newa.
We all know him very well. The media is pathetic! MurdochRoyalCommission
He's been in parliament for decades and you don't know who he is Stop with the 🤮🤢 love fest over the LNPCorruptionParty
He's the winner! Morrison is the loser (and generally corrupt and putrid etc. etc.)
PatsKarvelas STILL SPINNING LNP TALKING POINTS!!! Oh ABC whatever are we going to do with you.
Still asking the same question after 6 weeks? If you were 1/5 of a journalist you would have done some research and found out.
You’re embarrassing yourself, Auntie.
What a stupid heading
ABC = FOX. Your lack of integrity has shown throughout this campaign.
PatsKarvelas Oh so now you know who is Albo? So much so you think you can inform the rest of us. Feckin’ arrogance 🤦♂️
The guy who is going to clean out the malignant Murdoch and Liberal Party PR types influence within ABC.
Be afraid… be very afraid… ICAC
You’re just embarrassing yourself Auntie, stop embarrassing yourself
The new PM who has no idea about subjects like the unemployment rate and interest rates, you know difficult topics like that.
Some celebrations would be nice to see.
He has been in government for a very long time. Please stop being ridiculous abcyourbiasisshowing
It’s an article for people who maybe want to know a bit more about him. People in the comments angry about this are tripping
Someone far far better than Scott 'shit my pants' Morrison
FFS
Um the PM AlboThePM
Seriously?
He's our prime minister
AUSTRALIA'S NEWEST PRIME MINISTER!! THATS WHO.
About time that you made the effort to find out!
Bit late for this aye?
Oh would you STOP with that stupid question! FFS! ABCNews epicfail ausvotes
We know why don’t you?
The person you have to keep asking that about, because you spent the election cycle F*CKING IGNORING WHO HE IS.
Now you know who he is 😂
The guy who won’t run away from the issue
You’re kidding me. He’s been a Deputy PM and in politics for years. Is this all you’ve got ?
Politics is a crook game. You’ve got a guy like Dan Andrews who wouldn’t get a job at The reject shop as Premier of a state. It’s totally messed up.
He's our new loose unit PM. You bloody beauty.
