Anthony Albanese says Labor will fight ‘frustration’ in government and deliver on election promises, in National Press Club address

In his first major speech since securing a second term, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will address growing public cynicism towards government, promising to improve people’s lives through Labor’s policies, including boosting bulk-billed GP appointments, reducing student debt, and tackling cost-of-living issues. He will emphasize the need for practical solutions amidst global uncertainties and outline a second-term agenda focused on fairness, aspiration, and opportunity, aiming to deliver key reforms and housing initiatives. Albanese’s government plans to legislate a 20% discount on student debts and expand housing schemes, despite facing criticism for a proposed superannuation tax.
